“…Studies on plant density for different types of pepper (Capsicum sp.) including bell, cayenne, pepperoncini and jalapeno have shown that plant density and plant arrangement can influence plant development, growth and the marketable yield of peppers (Khasmakhi-Sabet et al, 2009). Plant density is an important determinant of yield (per unit area) in most crops.…”

This study assessed the influence of three plant populations (18518, 27777 and 40000 plants ha -1 ) on fruit and seed yield characters in 16 genotypes of Capsicum frutescens in 2010 and 2011 cropping years using a 3 x 16 split plot arrangement fitted into a randomized complete block design. Plant population and genotype formed main and sub-plots, respectively. Data collected on fruit and seed yield characters were subjected to analysis of variance after which means were separated using Fisher's Least Significant Difference. Correlation analysis was also carried out among the characters. Significant and highest (P < 0.01) number of fruits per plant, single fruit weight, fruit weight per plant, number of seeds per fruit, 100 seed weight, seed weight per plant and seed weight per fruit were obtained under 18518 plants ha -1 while highest (P < 0.05) fruit yield ha -1 (11.3 tons) and seed yield ha -1 (698.7 kg) were obtained under 40000 plants ha -1 . Top fruit and seed yielding genotypes across the three plant population were PP9955-15 and Chilli 14, respectively. Number of fruits per plant showed negative and highly significant correlation with single fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, number of seeds per fruit, 100-seed weight and seed weight per fruit. Significant positive or negative correlations were also observed among other characters. Plant population of 40,000 ha -1 using 50 x 50 cm spacing is recommended for high fruit and seed yield in C. frutescens production.

“…Moreover, it is one of the valuable medicinal plants in pharmaceutical industries because of high amounts of antioxidant, capsaicin and capsantin as main active substances. Studies on plant density for different types of pepper including bell, cayenne, pepperoncini and Jalapeno have shown that plant density and plant arrangement can influence plant development, growth and the marketable yield of peppers (Khasmakhi-Sabet et al, 2009).

The present research was carried out to evaluate response of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) to plant density and nitrogen fertilizer under field conditions. Plant density at four levels (20 × 50 cm, 30 × 50 cm, 20 × 100 cm and 30 × 100 cm) and nitrogen treatments at four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N/ha) were applied. Plant height, lateral stem number, leaf chlorophyll content, yield, and vitamin C were assessed at immature and mature stages. The results showed that vegetative growth characteristics (plant height, lateral stem number and leaf dry matter) and reproductive factors (fruit volume, fruit weight and plant yield) decreased with increasing plant density, but total yield (kg/ha) increased with increasing plant density. The highest and lowest total yields were obtained by plant density 20×50 cm and 30×100 cm respectively. Nitrogen fertilizer was significantly affected on plant height, lateral stem number and leaf chlorophyll content. It was observed that fertilization with 50 kg N/ha resulted to the highest fruit volume and plant yield. There were significant differences between fruit volume and fruit weight by interaction between plant density and nitrogen treatments.
