This study was aimed to determine the effect of shading levels and chilli variety and the interaction between both factors to the growth and yield of chili plant. This study was designed usingRandomized Completely Design including 2 factors, namely shading and varieties. The shading factor consisted of 3 level namely non-shading, 25% shading and 50% shading, and the varieties of chili factors consisted of 3 level namely Perintis, Kopay and Bemeri.

... r of leaves, number of primary and secondary branches, number of fruit per plant, length of fruit per plant, fruit weight each fuit, fruit weight per plant and potential yield. The result showed that the best growth and yield of chili was found on non-shading compared to the 25% and 50% shading treatment. The best variety of chili treatment was found in the Kopay which gave the best growth and yield compared to Perintis and Bemeri. The best combination treatment was found on non-shading treatment and Bemeri variety which showes the best result of growth and yield. Numbers followed by same letter are not significantly different at the HSD0.05. Capital letters show the notation for each row, the lowercase letter show the notation for column.
