SPAD values, as well as sugar- and capsaicin content in different varieties of outdoor peppers
Ingrid Melinda Gyalai
The marketability of the sweet peppers is determined by their quality in Class I, which must also meet the highest standards in terms of the color, shape of the variety and the characteristics of the various flavors. However, the determinants of quality may vary from one pepper type to another. During of our research, we examined the utilization of nitrogen, magnesium and potassium in different types of domestic peppers in the context of the relative chlorophyll content of the foliage and the amount of sugar and total capsaicin in the fruits. We determined that the nutrient solution prepared by Duna-r Ltd. is suitable for achieving the highest sugar and capsaicin content, but their levels can differ significantly. The uptake and utilization of nitrogen, magnesium and potassium of nutrient solution can be checked with the SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) index data of the foliage. We found that there are periods in the phenophase of the pepper cultivars studied when both sugar ...

(28) Productivity and Fruit Quality of Bell Pepper under Greenhouse Conditions in Northwest Mexico
2006 •
Fabián Contreras
Vegetables are important in Mexican agriculture, and production under greenhouse conditions has been increased notably during the past year. The production area is about 3500 ha. The main crop grown in greenhouses is tomatoes, but bell pepper is a potential crop due to high yield and that good quality commands a good price during the winter. The objetive of this research was to evaluate nine bell peppers with high technology for horticultural production in the greenhouse. The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Station (INIFAP-CIRNO). The greenhouse conditions are: polyethylene (8 mL), without temperature control, natural ventilation, and soil condition (electrical conductivity of 1.22 dS·m-1and pH 7.96). The planting date was on 26 Oct. 2004. Plant density used was 3.78 plants/m2. The harvest period ocurred from 3 Mar. to 11 May 2005. In this period, we made six cuttings. There were no differences in the yield among varieties. The varieties with the higher yield were Lar...

Micrometeorological modeling and water consumption of tabasco pepper cultivated under greenhouse conditions
2021 •
Rubens Duarte Coelho
Micrometeorological variables of tabasco pepper cultivated under greenhouse and drip irrigated conditions have not been presented to date in literature, especially the water consumption of these plants, in terms of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficient (Kc). The determination of these variables is extremely important for the application of the correct amount of water to irrigated crops in these environments because PM FAO (56) standard methodology was idealized for outdoor environments. The objective of this work was to develop models of estimation of micrometeorological variables in greenhouse conditions and to determine the water demand, in terms of evapotranspiration (ET) and Kc, of the pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.), cv. Tabasco McIlhenny, drip irrigated using drainage lysimeters. The research was carried out in an experimental area located at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. The following micrometeorological variables were monitored: ai...
ANNALS of Faculty Engineering Hunedoara-International Journal of Engineering THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT NPK DOSES OF RED PEPPER'S YIELD AND VEGETATIVE PARTS
Attila Hüvely
Red pepper (type Hírös) was cultivated in plant pot, in research garden of Kecskemét College, Faculty of Horticulture. Plant pots were in semi-subsurface position full with sandy soil typical for the Danube-Tisza sand ridges. Our aim was to investigate changes in productivity, yield and NPK content of leaves correlation with increased NPK doses on sandy soil with low humus content and average nutrient supply. We used Hydrofert NPK 15-30-15 fertilizer. The amount of nitrogen and potassium per hectare were 150, 300, 450, 600 kg, and the amount of phosphorus was the double of these. Fertilizer was spread with irrigation into the soil of plant pots. Total doses were given used in three equal portions, between May and July, in all treatments for better nutrient utilization. Harvest was during the biological ripeness of red pepper, between August and September. Compared to the control samples yield increased spectacularly in every treatment. At the same time, utilising the highest amount ...
A Summary of N, P, and K Research with Pepper in Florida1
Kim Cordasco, George Hochmuth
Harvest of fresh market tomatoes in Florida for the 1996-1997 season resulted in 54,750,000 cartons (25 lb/carton) from 37,300 harvested acres (37,500 planted acres). Crop value was $462,526,000 (Fl. Dept. of Agr. and Cons. Serv., 1998). Most of the tomatoes produced in Florida were grown in the spring season (70%) with the remainder grown in the fall. Heaviest tomato production occurs in the Southwest: Bonita Springs, Immokalee, Naples, and the Palmetto-Ruskin areas produce 70% of the states tomatoes. State agricultural chemical usage including

In the last years, demand for peppers and pepper-based products has increased significantly around the world. The non-pungent form is widely used as a green vegetable while Hot or Chili pepper is one of the best-selling condiments. This higher demand is explained in parts because of enhanced functional properties and health benefits (beta carotene, vitamin A and vitamin C, and Capsaicin). The International Pepper Conference get the attention of scientists, horticulturists, extension agents, seed and chemical company representatives, major processors, and growers around the world, being recognized as the leading venue for the dissemination and exchange of information on Capsicum.
