Soil and Climate

Green chilli is a tropical and sub-tropical plant requiring a combination of warm, humid yet dry weather. However, dry weather is appropriate for fruit maturity. Temperature range of 20 to 25⁰C is ideal for Green chilli growth. It is grown in many types of soils-sandy to heavy clay. A well-drained, fairly light fertile loam with a fair moisture holding capacity is ideal for Chilli farming. The light soils make better quality fruits than heavy soils.
