Pepper is an important spice used for flavoring, taste enhancer and coloring of food while providing vitamins and minerals. Despite its importance, production of hot pepper stayed due to the fact that poor varieties, poor cultural practices, the prevalence of fungal (blights) and bacterial as well as viral diseases. Hence, performance and adaptability of four improved hot pepper varieties were studied at fedis agricultural research center. Planting material for this study include Four improved hot pepper varieties (m/ fana, m/ awaze, m/ zala, and m/ shote) which are obtained from Fadis Agricultural research center and with one local check variety purchased from local market were evaluated for performance and adaptability during main rainy season of 2021 year. The analysis of variance indicated that there is statistically significant variation between varieties for all vegetative parameter studied except fruit length that shows no significant difference. The study revealed that, among the five varieties Melka fana gave maximum yield (27.33qt/ha) compared to local check followed by Melka awaze (26.67qt/ha) and Melka shote (25.33) respectively. Among the five varieties on the bases of their productivity, adaptability, resistance/tolerance to pests and diseases and farmer’s preference Melka shote and Melka awaze were recommended for further production. Since they show relatively good agronomic characteristics and farmer’s preference to utilize at green mature stage as compared to local check, Melka zala and Melka fana varieties it is better to recommend for further production.
