The influence of planting period on productivity of hot pepper varieties

Abstract

This article deals with varieties of hot pepper suitable for cultivation in protected ground, the length of fruits in the ripening period and the thickness of fruit pulp, the number of fruits on the bush in the period of technical ripeness of fruits, the weight of fruits. one fruit, the total weight of fruits on the bush, and about the same amount per square metre. The obtained yield indices are given. The aim of the study is to determine the optimal planting scheme of newly developed varieties of hot pepper. New varieties of hot pepper “Sharq Gavhari”, “Dilnoz 2019” and “Niyat”, suitable for cultivation in greenhouses, showed the highest and lowest yields when planted in unheated greenhouses in Tashkent district of Tashkent region in early spring in 4 terms: 10 and 20 February, 1 and 10 March. High quality yields were recorded for all varieties planted on 10 March and were 9.1 kg/m2 for the variety “Sharq Gavhari”, 7.7 kg/m2 for the variety “Dilnoz 2019”, and for the variety “Niyat” – 8.4 kg/m2.
