of cul t ivat ion, out crossing tne nature and popular i ty of the crop large genet ic diversi ty

including local landraces have evolved. ln l"rot chi l i great range of var iabi l i ty for several

a t t r ibu tes (Fru l t shape, s ize , co lo r and bear ing hab i t and semi - perenn ia l and perenn ia l and

pungency) occrrrs throughout the North east region. In Mizoram i tsel f three di f ferent var iet ies of

Mizo Chi l i are r :ul t ivated in di f ferent parts

The recorded history of Mizoram dates back to only about a century when Lushai Hi l ls, were

recons t i tu ted in to two admin is t ra t i ve un i ts under r Br i t i sh ru le . l t was under an Ac t o f Par l iament

that the name of Lusl"rai Hi l ls distr ict was changed to Mizo distr ict f ronr 20th Apri l 1-959 and later

this distr ict became a Union Terr i tory from 21st January, 1972, and i t was granted ful l Statehood

o n F e b r u a r y 2 A , 1 9 8 7 .

The product iorr of chi l i in the state can be traced upto the recorded history, B. C. Nuthara, in his

book Mizoram Soc ie ty and Po l i t i cs ment ions tha t when the v i l lage land became f ree f rom the

(K) Methods of Production :

o. Field Preporotion

In Mizoram, Ch i l l i i s cu l t i ' va ted most ly under Jhuming sys tem or Sh i f t ing cu l t i va t ion sys tem, on h i l l

s lops. In this type r: f system, large tracts of hi l ls are cleared by burning. Raised beds (Cal led bum) of

about one meter width are made along the slope arrd again covered with farm wastes dr ied leaves

etc. which are being burrr t before sowing of seeds. Ihe burning of f ie ld helps in reducing the weed

growth, soft rot disease and increase the avai labi l i t 'y of certain plant nutr ients, part icular ly Potash.

Th is jhum land is abandoned a f te r 3 -5 years and new p iece o f land is c leared in s imi la r fash ion .

b. Sowina

Mizo Ch i l l i i s cu l t i va ted as an in te rc rop w i th paddy to genera te some ex t ra revenue. The y ie ld o f yh is

Ch i l l i i s very low and there is h igh pr ice f luc tua t ion in the marke t oecause o f th is reason fa rmers

don ' t no t g row i t as a s ing le c rop .

I t i s genera l l y cu l t i va ted by broadcas t ing and d ibb l ing method, and Mi ; ro Ch i l l i seeds are spread

between paddy crops in the month of Apri l before onset of Monsoon. There is no hybrid used for

Mizo Chi l l i and the seed from previous year crop is kerpt for next year sowing.

c. lrriqation

The cult ivat ion is most ly rainfed in nature because of lack of i r r igat ion sources but with the

advantage of high rainfal l spread over a period of s i ;x to eight months farrners are st i l l able to grow

p a d d y a n d c h i l i .

d. lnterculturol

The crop requires regulalweeding because of fast growth of weed in cleared forest land. Normal lv

2-3 hand weed ing is done fo r the c rop and no herb ic ides are used.
