irrigation method. The dynamics of salt movements and distribution in various soils are poorly understood. Chile peppers ( Capsicum annuum ) are important vegetables in the southwestern states of the United States and in many other countries of the world
soil nitrogen contributions and potential plant nitrogen uptake from abrasive weeding have not been quantified. The overall aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of abrasive weeding in organic sweet red pepper ( Capsicum annuum L
bacterial endophytes isolated from stem and root tissues of diverse plants for plant growth promotion of Arabidopsis thaliana , tomatoes ( Solanum lycopersicum ), sweet peppers ( Capsicum annuum ), and cucumbers ( Cucumis sativus ) exposed to VOCs from
The production area of colored bell pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) is the largest among vegetable crops grown in greenhouses in Florida ( Jovicich et al., 2005 ), a peninsula with a mild winter and subtropical climate. Pepper plants grown in
( Capsicum annuum L.) ( DÃaz-Pérez et al., 2008 ), broccoli, cabbage, sweet corn ( Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa ), and tomato ( Madden et al., 2004 ; Roberts and Cartwright, 1991 ) when vegetables were established without tillage into winter
adjusted to 98.6 kg P/ha and 186 kg K/ha. Sweet pepper ( Capsicum annuum ‘California Wonder’; Burpee Seeds, Warminster, PA) transplants were started in the greenhouse in mid-March each growing season. Raised beds with a height of 30 cm and width of 60 cm
Mulch surface color affected the growth of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants, the amount and quality of upwardly reflected light, and the soil temperatures under the mulch. Of the surface colors evaluated (black, red, yellow, and white), plants grown over red mulch were the tallest. The darker (black and red) mulches reflected less total light and more far-red (FR) relative-to-red (R) light, and soil temperatures recorded in the afternoon and evening were warmer than under the yellow and white mulches. Plant growth responses to mulch surface color were also observed when soil temperature differences among the mulch color treatments were minimized by placing insulation boards between the mulch surface and the soil. Sensitivity of young pepper plants to a high or low FR: R light ratio was demonstrated by exposing plants to 15 minutes of FR or 15 minutes of R light at the end of the photosynthetic period each day for 14 consecutive days in a controlled environment. Plants that received the FR (high FR: R ratio) were 51% taller than plants exposed to R (low FR: R ratio) light treatments. The similar responses of pepper plants to differences in FR: R ratios associated with mulch color and end-of-day light treatments provide evidence that pepper plant growth is affected by relatively small changes in light environment induced by the surface color of the mulch.
Growth-chamber studies were conducted to examine the ability of seven vegetable crops-`Blue Lake' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), `Detroit Dark Red' beet (Beta vulgaris L.), `Burgundy' okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (Moench), `Little Marvel' pea (Pisum sativum L.), `California Wonder' bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), `New Zealand' spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), and `Beefsteak' tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)–to adjust osmotically in response to water-deficit stress. Water stress was imposed by withholding water for 3 days, and the adjustment of leaf and root osmotic potentials upon relief of the stress and rehydration were monitored with thermocouple psychrometers. Despite similar reductions in leaf water potential and stomata1 conductance among the species studied, crop-specific differences were observed in leaf and root osmotic adjustment. Leaf osmotic adjustment was observed for bean, pepper, and tomato following water-deficit stress. Root osmotic adjustment was significant in bean, okra, pea, and tomato. Furthermore, differences in leaf and root osmotic adjustment were also observed among five tomato cultivars. Leaf osmotic adjustment was not associated with the maintenance of leaf growth following water-deficit stress, since leaf expansion of water-stressed bean and pepper, two species capable of osmotic adjustment, was similar to that of spinach, which exhibited no leaf osmotic adjustment.
Sweet pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) is an important horticultural crop worldwide, and its production volumes and cultivated areas have increased over the last few decades ( FAOSTAT 2023 ). Sweet peppers are usually produced in greenhouses and open
Chile pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) is a vegetable crop of great economic importance in the southwestern United States. Major states producing chile pepper (nonbell type) are New Mexico, California, Texas, and Arizona. In 2006, chile pepper
