Abstract | ||||
Two field experiments were carried out during the summer seasons of 2003 and 2004 under open field in the Horticulture Experimental Station at El –Baramoon , Dakhalia governorate, Egypt, to evaluated and characterized some genotypes of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. ) and also these genotypes were compared with the check cultivar for plant growth , yield and yield components, fruit characteristics ,as well as, quality traits. Considerable differences were recorded for all the studied genotypes for all traits in both seasons. The obtained results showed that the highest values recorded in the genotypes; i.e., "Marconi Rosso x California Wonder" , "California Wonder x Marconi Rosso" and "Fushimi Long Green x Marconi Rosso". for early and total yield ; Fushimi Long Green cv. , "Fushimi Long Green x Marconi Rosso" and " Marconi Rosso x Fushimi Long Green " for numbers of fruits / plant ; California Wonder cv. , "Vikima x California Wonder" and "California Wonder x Marconi Rosso " for average fruit weight ; "Fushimi Long Green x Marconi Rosso" and "Marconi Rosso x Fushimi Long Green" for total soluble solids (T.S.S.) and "Fushimi Long Green x Vikima " and " Marconi Rosso x Fushimi Long Green " for vitamin C .These genotypes can be used by breeders in their breeding programs according to their objectives . Furthermore, the variation in these traits might be useful for breeders in pepper selection . | ||||
