Abstract
Chili var. Long Chili F1 hybrid was planted in different planting media namely 1 cocoa peat CP 2 cocoa peat burnt paddy husk CPB 3 peat soil PS and 4 peat soil conventional fertilizer PSF. Chili fruits were harvested at commercial maturity. They were analyzed at harvest and during cold storage 10 C for 20 days. Planting media significantly P0.05 affected fruit colour lightness redness and yellowness pH moisture content and firmness but did not significantly P0.05 affect percentage weight loss ascorbic acid content and acidity. Chili planted in cocoa peat was highly P0.05 firmer 149.25 g force than those planted in peat soil 129.25 g Force. The yellowness ;b; of chili was significantly P0.05 in peat soil medium 16.55 than cocoa peat 15.15. Burnt paddy husk and conventional fertilizer did not affect firmness and yellowness of chili. The redness ;a; of chili was significantly P0.05 higher in burnt paddy husk planting medium 28.25 compared to other planting media 26.47-27.31. Conventional fertilizer significantly P0.05 reduced the pH of chili. Moisture content was the highest P0.05 in chili planted in peat soil medium with or without conventional fertilizer followed by cocoa peat burnt paddy husk and cocoa peat media.
