Soil And Climate:

It is important to know that chillies need good moisture for growth. Black soil which keeps hold of moisture is perfect if they are grown as rainfed crops. Under irrigated conditions, they need well-drained filthy loam with rich organic content. Chillies can also be grown in deltaic soil under irrigated conditions. In Uttarakhand or other hilly regions, soil is mixed with coarse sand and gravel before starting chilli cultivation.

A neutral soil pH in the range of 6.5 and 7.5 is ideal for chilli cultivation.

Chilli is a tropical and sub-tropical plant that requires a blend of warm, humid or dry weather. At the growing stage it requires a warm and humid weather. Nevertheless, a dry weather is quite good for fruit maturity. Temperature between 20⁰ to 25⁰C is perfect for the growth of chilli. If the temperature goes above 37⁰C then the fruit development gets affected. Likewise in case of heavy rainfall the plant defoliates and begins decomposing. But, in case of low moisture conditions during the fruiting phase, the bud does not grow properly. In short, a high temperature or moderately low humidity level could lead to deflowering.
