Abstract

Physiological approaches play a crucial role in optimizing the plant growth, yield and quality parameters in chilli cultivation. Some key physiological approaches and their influence on quality parameters are stress induction (water and salt stress), hormonal treatment and nutrient management (organic and inorganic fertilizers). These physiological approaches helps chilli growers to meet market demands and consumer preferences more effectively.  Biotechnological approaches also can bring major improvements in the quality aspects of chilly. Also the optimization of yield and quality contributes to the economic success of chili cultivation, providing consumers with high-quality products and producers with sustainable production systems.

Keywords: Physiological and biotechnological approaches, chilli, stress, hormones, nutrient
