Yield in Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Cultivars Established at Different Planting Bed Size and Growth Containers

초록

A study was undertaken to investigate the optimum planting bed size and growth containers using masato soil on fresh yield of pepper cultivars in the production space of greenhouse at Hwacheon from June to October, 2009. Results showed that cultivars significantly affected on plant height, total fruit number, marketable fruit number (%) plant and total yield per plant whereas bed size significantly affected the plant height, marketable fruit number (%), marketable and non-marketable weight (g) per plant. Planting transplants at 60cm bed width gave the highest total fruit number (61.8), marketable fruit number (58.3%) and weight (1,119.4 2) per plant. Growth containers significantly affected the total fruit number, marketable and non-marketable fruit number (%) and total fruit yield (g) per plant. 'Chungyang' and 'Nokkwang' grown on plastic pot gave higher total fruit number, marketable fruit number percentage and total yield per plant but 'Special', 'Minipaprika' and 'Pimiento' grown in Styrofoam trays significantly gave higher total fruit (no), marketable fruit number (%) and total yield (g) per plant. Hence, in masato soil, 60cm planting bed width in Styrofoam trays can be used to obtain better yield in peppers as well as to optimize the production space in plastic house.
