EFFECTS OF AGE OF TRANSPLANTS ON HOT PEPPER (CAPSICUM SINENSE) |
| Author: | J.C. Norman |
| Abstract:
Field experiments at the Department of Horticulture, University of Science and Technology, Kumasi explored the influence of age of hot pepper transplants on growth, flowering, fruit set and yield. The seedlings were planted at 5,6 and 7 weeks of age after pricking out. The results indicated that 5- and 6-week old transplants grew more quickly and yielded more than 7-week old ones. Flowering, fruiting and harvesting were delayed by late transplanting. Five to six-week-old transplants were recommended for hot pepper production. | |
