Abstract: Fort five genotypes of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) were investigated to understand the extent of genetic diversity through ten growth and yield attributing characters. Genetic diversity in chilli genotypes based on ten characters was estimated using Mahalanobis’s D2 statistics. The genotypes were grouped into six different clusters. Cluster I is the largest cluster having 29 genotypes, followed by cluster II with 12 genotypes, cluster III, V and VI cluster had one genotype each. The highest mean for Days to 50 per cent flowering was observed in the cluster VI (105) followed by cluster II (103.50), cluster I (102.64), cluster IV (101.00). The lowest mean was observed in the Cluster V (95.00). The highest mean for Days to first picking was observed in the Cluster IV (152.00). The lowest mean was observed in the Cluster V (137.50). The highest mean for Yield per plant was observed in the Cluster VI (279.75) and lowest mean was observed in the cluster I (259.33). The highest mean for Incidence of leaf curl was observed in the Cluster III (2.50) followed by cluster I (2.38). The lowest mean was observed in the Cluster IV and Cluster VI (1.50).
