Indian black pepper fetches a premium price in major international spices markets because of its intrinsic quality. But the continuous use of low yielding cultivars, non-availability of planting materials, losses due to biotic and abiotic stresses and also non adoption of appropriate agronomic practices are some of the prominent factors contributing to lower productivity of black pepper in India. There is no reliable information on the availability of improved local genotypes of Uttara Kannada district for the arecanut based mixed system of cultivation in Karnataka. However, some of the superior genotypes are believed to be high yielders with superior quality and tolerant to drought situation, pest and diseases, that may be available in the farmers fields. In this connection present experiment conducted at Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka using 52 genotypes. Among the genotypes, green pepper yield per vine was the highest in Panniyur 1 and was on par with the genotypes viz., SV 11, SV 7 and Kudure Bala. Whereas, maximum dry pepper yield per vine was recorded by the genotype SV 11 and was on par with genotype Kudure Bala, national check var. Panniyur 1 and SV 7. However, the highest recovery of black pepper was observed in farmer variety Sigandini (37.74 %) and was at par with the genotypes Magod Jaddi, Kudure bala, SV 11, Sambar Dadiga, Kari Dadiga, Havali Special and Kurimale compared to national var. Panniyur 1
