Bird’s Eye Chili, Morphological Characteristics, Superiority TestAbstract
Bird’s eye chili (Capsicum frutescens L.) is one of the most popular chili types in Indonesia. It contains valuable nutritional components, particularly vitamin C at a concentration of 11 mg per 10 grams of sample. The development of new varieties is undertaken to improve the genetic quality of chili plants, thereby producing cultivars with higher productivity and more stable yields. This study aims to obtain the morphological characteristics and specific distinguishing features of the bird’s eye chili candidate variety RTJHL. The research was conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with one factor consisting of four variety treatments. These varieties included RTJHL as the candidate test variety, and three comparison varieties: Abayomi from Halbanero, O’Ertavi from Halbanero, and Brengos-99 from Benih Kelud Nusantara. Morphological traits were analysed descriptively based on the Guidelines for Conducting Tests of Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) in chili. The result revealed that superior traits identified as distinguishing characteristics of the bird’s eye chili candidate variety RTJHL were the number of flower petals and the number of fruit locules.
