A field experiment was conducted during the kharif 2007-08 on farmers’ fields at Rottigawada village in Kundagol taluka of Dharwad district (Karnataka) to study the “Effect of site specific nutrient management through targeted yield approach on quality parameters of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.). Ascorbic acid (190.7 mg/100 g fruits) and colour value (319.0 ASTA units) were higher at the targeted yield level of 30 q and 25 q per ha, respectively but higher oleoresin content (18.33%) was recorded in the targeted yield level treatment of 20 q per ha.
