The research aimed to study the effect of size of container on the growth of
seedlings pepper "Snapper". Two different sizes of plastic containers, with
dimensions 8×8 cm and12×12 cm were used, Results showed that the use of
containers with large
dimensions had increased the growth of seedlings
compared with the use of smaller ones. A significant increase, of about 14%
was observed in the average length of seedlings and about 16% in the average
number of leaves produced in the large containers as compared with seedlings
produced in smaller ones. Also the fresh wet weight, whether for the plant or its
separate parts was significantly higher in seedlings produced in the large
containers. The plant fresh wet weight in the large container was 26.98 g vs.,
2.27 g in the smaller ones.
