Phenotypic diversity, biochemical components and pungency strength were assessed for eighteen spicy pepper accessions from Maleh valley in Morocco. Six plant samples were randomly collected in farmers' field across three target localities during 2015 growing season. Eight fruits from each sampled plant were characterized using eight phenotypic qualitative traits and biochemical components. Results revealed a wider genetic variability within accessions (52%) than among accessions (43%) and among sites (5%)
