Plant density can affect development and yield of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Information on the optimum plant density of different types of peppers in the Caspian Sea region is limited. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block with three plant densities (30,000, 42,000, and 78,000 plants·ha −1 ) with an in-row spacing of 0.45, 0.30, or 15 m between plants in rows 0.8 m apart and replicated three times. The 42,000 plants·ha −1 density produced suitable vegetative growth, best yield, and did not have any significant negative effects on bell pepper quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
