Chili is a shrub from the family of eggplant that has the scientific name Capsicum sp. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the first and second flower vines could stimulate vegetative growth of hybrid chili (Capsicum annuum L) varieties. Gada Experiment was carried out in Sumberurip Hamlet, Manggis Village, Ngancar District, Kediri Regency on dry land with Latosol soil type (sandy cane) and pH 6.0. The height of the place from sea level is around 450 above sea level, the average annual rainfall is 1,785 millimetres with 85 rainy days. The average temperature is 29°C and the type of climate is C3. The experiment was conducted from December 1, 2009 to February 30, 2010. The results of the study: the first and second flower flowering treatments in the hybrid red pepper variety of Gada significantly affected the fruit diameter and significantly affected the plant height at 70 days, the number of tertiary branches at the age of 70 days, fruit length, and number of fruits per plant and fruit weight. The highest production was achieved in the first and second flower treatment Z (P3), which is 16.6 grams per fruit which is equivalent to 25,853.17 kg/ha.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of organic fertilization, compared to inorganic and a combination of both in the cultivation of serrano pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under shade net at the University of Sonora. The variables that were evaluated were: fruit weight, yield, length and diameter of fruit, as well as efficiency of water use. For the weight of the fruit per plant, no significant differences were observed between treatments in the first two cuts, however, for the third cut if there were significant differences, the best treatments were inorganic fertilization and the mixture of inorganic plus algae extracts with 280.29 and 212.21 g respectively. For the fourth and fifth cut the trend was in the same way up to the final average resulting in the best treatment inorganic fertilization with 233.94 g per plant followed by the mixture of inorganic plus seaweed extract with 166.75 g per plant. Regarding the yield, it can be observed that from the third cut the treatments that contained inorganic resulted with the highest yield, resulting in the total average inorganic fertilization with 38665.77 kg ha-1 and inorganic fertilization plus algae extract with 27514.08 kg ha-1. The results obtained from this research show that organic fertilization does not provide high yields compared to inorganic because of the gradual release of nutrients to the plant.

Phytochemical analyses of pepper fruit metabolites have been reported; however, much less is known about the influence of different forms of nitrogen (N), which is critical for plant growth and fruit quality formation. The “Longjiao No. 5” variety (Capsicum annuum L.) grown in Northwestern China was profiled using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) coupled with multivariate data analysis to explore the composition of different metabolites in pericarp and placenta, and to investigate the effect of three ammonium (NH4+) to-nitrate (NO3−) ratios (0:100, 25:75, and 50:50). A total of 215 metabolites were obtained by qualitative analysis, where 31 metabolites were the major differential metabolite components of pepper fruits between placenta and pericarp, and 25 among N treatments. The addition of ammonium up-regulated carbohydrates, such as α-lactose and sucrose, as well as phenylalanine lyase (PAL) of placenta tissue. The supply of 25% NH4+–N and 75% NO3−–N exhibited a relatively higher levels of ascorbic acid in pericarp and amino acids, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin in placenta, and led to higher fruit weight among the ammonium-to-nitrate ratios. The expression and activities of glutamic acid synthetase (GOGAT) and glutamine synthetase (GS) that are involved in ammonium assimilation were affected by adjusting the ammonium–N proportion, and they were significantly positively correlated with capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin contents, capsaicinoid synthetase (CS), as well as the relative expression levels of genes related to capsaicinoid biosynthesis, such as acyltransferase 3 (AT3) and acyl-ACP thioesterase (FatA).

AbstractA long-term study was conducted to explore the possibility of using traditional rain-fed systems for growing domesticatedZiziphus mauritiana(so-called Pomme du Sahel) in the Sahel. Five varieties, Gola, Ben Gurion, Seb, Umran and Kaithli, were grafted on six rootstocks ofZ.mauritianafrom various agroecological zones of Niger. Trees were planted inside microcatchments at 8 × 8 m spacing. Over a period of six years, the variety Umran gave the highest fruit yield (3600 kg·ha−1) and the lowest fruit yield was documented for variety Seb (1970 kg·ha−1). Individual fruit weight ranged from 25.8 g for ‘Umran’ to 9.5 g for ‘Seb’. The rootstocks had no effect on average fruits yields and fruit size. There was a significant linear correlation between fruit yield and annual rainfall. In a rainy year (680 mm), the average yield of the five varieties was 7580 kg·ha−1. The results of the current study indicate that dry land plantations of Pomme du Sahel can guarantee food security during dry years in the Sahel. However, further studies are required to evaluate the economic feasibility of this system.

In spite of the several good properties of peat, recently, some experiments were carried out with the aim of finding natural materials which can substitute for peat. According to the results, several inorganic and organic materials were proved to be suitable for this purpose. This study examines the effect of different organic materials (example: pine bark, composts, peats) on the growth and yield of green pepper (Capsicum annuum L., variety Danubia). We found that the most developed plants were grown in peat-mixtures and pine bark. The average fruit weight was the highest at those plants which were planted also in these media. The plants which were grown in composts fell short of our expectations in development and in yield, too.

Salinity is one of the major issues that lead to a reduction in crop productivity. This study aimed to investigate the response of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) to saline soil. The research was conducted in Agricultural Research Field at Noakhali Science and Technology University during 2018-19 with two sweet pepper varieties as treatment named Red Army (V1) and California Wonder (V2). The results indicated that there were significant variations between the two varieties in different parameters of growth as well as yield performance. The result showed that between the treatments V2 (California Wonder) gave the higher yield ie., 10.65 ton/ha while V1(Red Army) produced 9.61 ton/ha. Moreover, the taller plants and longer fruit were obtained from the V2 which were 32.43 cm and 8.23 cm respectively. Even among the other parameters, V2 gave higher growth and development than V1. Furthermore, average single fruit weight/plant was recorded 76.33 g in California Wonder (V2) whereas Red Army (V1) provided 74.16 g. The finding of the experiment indicated that the overall better performance could be obtained from V2 California Wonder variety of sweet pepper. This study evaluated the varietal performance of two varieties and it can be said from the experiment that the California Wonder is the best variety for cultivation in saline region in Bangladesh.

The effect of preharvest calcium sprays on postharvest quality of sweet bell peppers grown in plasticulture was studied. Calcium was applied as three sprays of 0.4% (wt/vol) CaCl2 in water to plots of Oriole and Bell Boy peppers in each of 2 yr. Fruit weight, water loss, firmness, decay and the composition of the pectic fractions were determined at harvest and during storage. Preharvest sprays of CaCl2 increased the weight of fruit for Oriole, improved firmness retention in storage, decreased decay, increased pericarp wall thickness and the insoluble pectic fractions of both cultivars but had no effect on water loss in storage. The results suggest that Ca improves firmness retention through enhancing the pectic composition of cell walls and pericarp wall thickness. Effects of Ca sprays on reducing decay could not be attributed to factors measured in this work. Preharvest foliar sprays of CaCl2 show promise in reducing postharvest decay and improving firmness retention in sweet bell peppers grown under plasticulture. Key words: Capsicum annuum L., calcium, pectin, shelf life, postharvest decay

Experiments using an artificial windbreak and polyethylene mulch were conducted in 1983 and 1984 with sweet pepper in Ste-Anne de Bellevue, Quebec. When analyses were conducted on pooled distance data plant fresh weight was increased by sheltering but not by mulching. In 1983, the windbreak increased yields up to a distance 24 times the windbreak height but only if plants were not mulched. Yield increases were due to greater fruit number per plant rather than a greater mean fruit weight. The windbreak had no influence on yield in 1984. Mulching resulted in a significant increase in yield in both years and appeared to be a more reliable practice than the use of windbreaks to increase pepper yields.Key words: Windbreak, paraweb, pepper, Capsicum annuum L.
