Arudra 52 chilli: dried-pod quality and a grower's yield expectations

Summary

• At a Mahabubabad-area drying yard, a farmer shows Arudra 52 chilli from two acres, highlighting long pods, strong colour and a low share of inferior pods.
• He says 30–32 quintals have already been sold and more green pods remain in the field; the per-acre figure discussed is still an expected seasonal total.
• The grower reports substantial spending on mite-control sprays despite his favorable assessment of the variety, and expects colour and size to support its market price.
