Open-access Evaluation of yield and quality of 15 bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes grown under greenhouse conditions in Costa Rica

Abstract

Yield and quality of 15 bell pepper genotypes grown under greenhouse conditions, were evaluated. Data show a wide variability between genotypes with respect to days at the beginning of harvest (74 - 83 days after transplant), number of first quality fruits per plant (2,00 - 7,25), mean first quality fruit weight (171,15 - 243,45 g), and marketable (44,29 - 77,34 ton/ha) and total yield (55,13 - 90,45 ton/ha). XC-425, MACR-103-07 and Vikingo show the highest number of first quality fruits per plant (7,25; 5,63; and 5,38, respectively). XC-425 and Vikingo show the highest marketable yield (77,34 and 75,37 ton/ha, respectively).
