Flowering, Growth and Fruit Setting in Greenhouse Bell Pepper under Water Stress

Nitrogen Fertilizer Use Efficiency of Pepper as Affected by Irrigation and Fertilization Regime

“…All three treatments with drip fertigation show statistically significant differences at 0.05 level of probability when compared to the control treatment ØB. The low marketable pepper yield in treatment ØB in our study may be associated with soil moisture stress (Dalla Costa and Gianquinto, 2002;Ferrara et al, 2011), inadequate soil moisture and nutrient content (Wiertz and Lenz 1987;Abayomi et al, 2012), especially inadequate water and soil nutrient procurement (Kuşçu et al, 2016) affected by irrigation and fertilization regime. Sezen et al (2014) reported higher pepper yield in drip compared with furrow irrigation.…”

“…It has been observed that pepper production is confined to the warm and semi-arid countries where water is often a limiting factor for production, necessiting the need to optimize water management (Dorji et al, 2005). Furthermore, pepper is among the most sensitive horticultural plants to water deficit stress (Delfine et al, 2002;Ferrara et al, 2011). Such sensitivity was reported in some studies on the fresh and dry matter yield reductions as affected by different irrigation techniques and regime (Antony and Singandhupe, 2004;Sezen et al, 2006;González-Dugo et al, 2007;Candido et al, 2009;Kurunc et al, 2011;Aladenola and Madramootoo, 2014;Sezen et al, 2014;Sezen et al, 2015;Kuşçu et al, 2016).…”

Pertumbuhan dan Produktivitas Tanaman Cabai Katokkon (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) di Ketinggian 600 Meter dan 1.200 Meter di atas Permukaan Laut

“…Informasi waktu berbunga lebih awal pada tanaman cabai merupakan ciri agronomi yang penting karena hal ini membuka kemungkinan suksesnya kultivasi di daerah dengan ciri musim hujan pendek atau daerah lain yang memiliki musim hujan yang lebih lama [17]. Waktu berbunga merupakan salah satu bagian utama yang penting diketahui, karena hal ini adalah salah satu komponen adaptasi kultivar pada lingkungan tertentu [18]. Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan tanaman, khususnya pembungaan tergantung pada interaksi antara proses-proses kompleks yang dipengaruhi oleh genetik dan lingkungan.…”

“…Jumlah buah cabai katokkon per aksilar di habitat aslinya di Tana Toraja juga bervariasi, terdiri atas dua buah/aksilar dan bergerombol banyak di setiap aksilar. Ferrara et al [18] mengungkapkan bahwa variasi jumlah buah diluar habitat aslinya merupakan hasil domestikasi, serta bibit dapat berasal dari hasil hibrida dan pemuliaan. Selain itu didapatkan dua jenis bentuk buah yang berbeda baik yang ditanam di ketinggian 600 m dpl maupun di ketinggian 1.200 m dpl yaitu bentuk meruncing pada ujung buah (ditandai warna merah) dan rata pada ujung buah (Gambar 2).…”

The effect of plant density on growth and yield of NsukkaYellow aromatic pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

“…Time of flowering is particularly of great importance in annual crops, because it is a component of the adaptation of a cultivar to an environment. It also determines fruit set and crop yield (Ishiyaku et al, 2005;Ferrara et al, 2011). Plant growth and development, especially flowering, is dependent on the interaction of many complex processes which are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors (Uarrota, 2010).…”
