Abstract

This study was to evaluate the morphological characteristics and the commercial potential of four different cultivars of local chili (Capsicum sp.) commonly found in Bintulu, Sarawak. The four cultivars are locally known as Gerunung Merah, Gerunung Kuning, Cili Besar and Cili Putih making up the four treatments. Each treatment consisted of 30 plants grown in white polybags of size 17" high by 14" wide containing coco pith in three replications. The experiment was conducted under rain shelter netting structure in Completely Randomize Design (CRD). Data were collected based on morphological characteristics and statistically analyzed. The Cili Besar cultivar had the shortest production period followed by Gerunung Kuning, Gerunung Merah, and Cili Putih. Both Gerunung Merah and Gerunung Kuning exhibited good plant architecture with constant first branch angle and larger leaf producing unique fruit shape and color. However, Gerunung Kuning gave the highest fresh to dry-weight conversion ratio, followed by Gerunung Merah, Cili Besar and Cili Putih.
