Harvesting
Harvesting
In chilli, first pickling should be done at green stage to stimulate further flush of flowers and fruit set. Flowering begins 1-2 months after transplanting taking another month for green fruits. Chilli for vegetable purposes is generally harvested at fully grown green stage whereas for dried chilli fruits at ripe stages are ideal. For pickles, chilli can be picked either at green or ripe stage.
In Sikkim, cherry pepper is harvested when it attains red colour for fresh consumption and preservation.
Yield
Normally, 2-2.5 tonnes dry chilli and 7.5-10 tonnes of green chilli are obtained from a hectare. The yield of dry chilli in rainfed areas is lesser (0.5-1.0 tonnes/ha) compared with irrigated crop (1.5-2.5 tonnes/ha). Cherry pepper gives 20-30 tones/ha as fresh fruit
