Abstract
Seventeen genotypes of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were assessed for earliness, yield, and some fruit quality characteristics at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University, El-Kawamel region, Sohag Governorate, Egypt, during two successive fall seasons, 2022 and 2023. The experiment was conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. There were significant differences among genotypes for all studied characteristics. 'Al-Ashraf' genotype was the earliest to flower and the highest chlorophyll content in both seasons, while 'Farz on W4' genotype was the latest to flower in both seasons. 'Romy 1010 W3' genotype had the tallest plant in both seasons. 'Dar El-Salam 5' genotype had the highest No. of branches plant-1 in both seasons. Long Romy W1' genotype had the longest fruit length and the highest No. of fruits plant-1 in both seasons. 'Akhmim-Neda and Dar El-Salam 1' genotypes had the highest fruit diameter in both seasons, while 'Long Romy W1' genotype had the lowest fruit diameter in both seasons. '41 W6' genotype had the highest fruit weight (g) in both seasons. Fruits of 'Dar El-Salam 2' genotype had the highest TSS in both seasons, while 'Romy 1010 W3' genotype had the lowest TSS (%) in both seasons. 'Farz on W4' genotype exceeded all other genotypes in early fruit yield feddan-1 (ton) and total fruit yield feddan-1 (ton). The results of this study could be useful in breeding programs for improving sweet pepper production in Upper Egypt.
