A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the morph physiological attributes, growth, quality and yield performance of five local chilli germplasm viz., Akashi (V 1 ), Kajoli (V 2 ), Deshi kacha morich (V 3 ), Bogra morich (V 4 ), Dongfou (V 5 ) with liquid (macro & micro) nutrient solution viz. S 0 (Control), S 1 (Solution-1), S 2 (Solution-2) were exploited on the experiment. Major characters of growth and yield such as plant height, days to first flower bud initiation, number of flowers/plant, number of fruits/plant, individual fruit weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, yield/plant, protein, and vitamin C content were influenced by amalgamation of germplasm with foliar nutrient solution. However, In amalgamation, maximum number of fruit per plant (327.0) from V 2 S 1 and 1000 seed weight (3.8 g), yield (803.9 g/pant), fresh yield (19.6 t ha -1 ) obtained from V 1 S 1 whereas lowest number of fruit from V 5 S 0 (72.3/ pant) and 1000 seed weight (2.6 g), yield (116.2 g/ pant), fresh yield (10.4 t ha -1 ) obtained from V 4 S 0 .
