The field experiment was conducted at M/S. Punya Koti Farm, Kotiganahalli, Kolar Karnataka, India, to know the influence of stages of harvesting (fruits harvesting at 6th week after anthesis to fruits harvesting at 12th week after anthesis) on seed recovery and quality of paprika chilli. This experiment was conducted with RCBD with three replications consistings even treatments. Among seven harvesting stages, fruits harvested at 10th week after anthesis (H5) recorded maximum fruit length (18.44 cm), fruit diameter (1.86 cm), number of seeds perfruit (87.57), seed recovery (95.05 %) and seed yield per hectare (414.11 kg) with lower totalnumber of fruits per plant (41.52). However, fruits harvested at 10th week after anthesis (H5), 11th week after anthesis (H6) and 12th week after anthesis (H7) are on par with each other. Seed quality parameters like germination (94%), mean seedling length (9.14cm) and mean seedling dry weight (0.35mg) significantly higher when fruits harvested at 12th week after anthesis (H7) with lower electrical conductivity (102.53µScm-1g-1)
