“…The distribution of yield over the in-row spacing seems to indicate that 'Pace105' responded more like bell pepper to spacing (Locascio and Stall, 1994;Russo, 1991) than to other types of peppers (Decoteau and Graham, 1994;Kahn et al, 1997;Leskovar and Boales, 1995;Motsenbocker, 1996;Motsenbocker et al, 1993Motsenbocker et al, , 1997. The producer, using 'Pace105', has the option of either using fewer plants on the same amount of land or more plants on less land without much reduction of quantity or quality of yield.…”

“…Mississippi Sport peppers (all C. annuum L.), fresh pod yields decreased as in-row spacing increased with some of the highest yields occurring at the closest spacing (Decoteau and Graham, 1994;Kahn et al, 1997;Leskovar and Boales, 1995;Motsenbocker, 1996;Motsenbocker et al, 1993). However, total marketable yields for the pungent jalapeño peppers 'TAM Jalapeño 1' and 'Jalapeño M' were unaffected by varying in-row plant spacings from 10.2 to 40.6 cm (Motsenbocker et al, 1997). Increasing in-row spacing of bell pepper (C. annuum L.) plants did not consistently improve yield (Russo, 1991), and Locascio and Stall (1994) reported that increasing in-row spacing of bell pepper increased yield.…”

It is not known how plant spacing affects fresh yield in transplanted nonpungent jalapeño peppers (Capsicum annuum L.). Transplants of a nonpungent jalapeño, cv. Pace 105, were established at 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 cm between plants in mid-April of 2006 and 2007 and in early July in 2007. Fruit were harvested once when 5% of marketable-sized pods in rows were red. Distance to first flower and yield characteristics were determined. Fruit were culled based on pod size and presence of blemishes. Height on the stem to the first flower averaged 15.8 cm over all treatments. Plants in the Spring 2006 season had the highest marketable and cull yields. Numbers of marketable fruit/ha were higher at the 8-cm spacing than at the 40- or 48-cm in-row spacings. There was little difference in marketable yield as a result of in-row spacing. The greatest number of cull fruit per plant was on plants spaced 48 cm apart. Plant spacing had no effect on number of cull fruit or cull yield/ha. Culls accounted for ≈22% of total yield. Individual cull fruit weights were ≈50% less than for marketable fruit. Spacings tested did not appear to greatly affect development or yield of this pepper. This will allow producers to have the option of either using fewer plants on the same amount of land or more plants on less land without much reduction of quantity or quality of yield.

Effect of plant density and harvesting type on yield and quality of fresh and dried peppers and paprika

et al. 2018

The cultural practices tested provided an adequate productivity of fresh pepper and a better quality of the final product. According to the results of the present study, the increase in plant density and the substitution of manual harvesting by mechanical harvesting could be profitable practices with respect to the Jaranda variety of pepper used for the manufacture of smoked paprika. These practices maintain the main quality parameters of dried peppers and paprika. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Planting Date and Plant Density Affect Yield of Pungent and Nonpungent Jalapeño Peppers

There is little known about how cultural methods affect yields of nonpungent jalapeño peppers (Capsicum annuum L.). Seedlings of the nonpungent jalapeño peppers `Pace 103', `Pace 105', `Pace 108', `Dulce', and `TAM Sweet2', as well as the pungent jalapeño peppers `Delicias' and `TAM Jalapeño1', used for comparison, were grown in a greenhouse with either one or two seedlings per cell in transplant trays. Transplanting to the field was in mid-April and mid-June of 2000 and 2001. In-row spacing was 0.46 m between transplanting sites. Density was varied by placing either one or two seedlings at a transplant site with resultant plant densities of 24,216 or 48,432 plants/ha. Marketable and cull yields, on a per hectare basis, were determined. In both years there were more fruit produced, and higher yields (25+% greater), at the higher plant density, especially for the mid-April planting. The exception for the mid-April planting date was `TAM Jalapeño1', which was not different at the two densities. If the increased income from higher yield can compensate for the cost of producing two seedlings in each transplant tray cell, then this technique should be employed when these types of peppers are used in early plantings.
