Effect of Plant Density on Productivity of some Sweet and Hot Pepper Hybrids in Plastic Greenhouse


Abstract in English

The study was conducted in Jableh during 2012/2013 in plastic green house on sweet and hot pepper hybrids to study the effect of plant density on growth and productivity. The hybrid VIGARIO(sweet pepper) and hybrid ERAD (hot pepper)variety were applied in six treatment and four replication .It was showed that the highest number of flowers were recorded in VIGARIO variety in space (50x60)cm to amount(18.33) flower/plant ,while the the highest number of fruits were recorded in space(50x40)cm to amount(20.98)fruit/plant and the earlest yield (390.6)g/m2and the highest total (3486)g/m2productivity were found in space (50x40)cm . IRAD hybrid give the highest number of flower in space (50x40)cm to amount(28.23) flower/plant,while the hieghest number of fruit were recorded in space (40x60)cm to amount(107.17) fruit/plant and the highest productivity were found in space(50x40)cm to amount (9485.7)g/m2.
