Chilli performs well under humid climates. It is photo-insensitive and day length neither affects flowering nor fruit setting. A frost-free period of about 130-150 days with a temperature range of 15-35°C is optimum for Chilli production. Generally, Chilli will not set fruit when the night temperature is above 30°C. Temperature beyond 40°C results in poor fruit set and increased fruit drop.
