Nigeria accounts for member of the Solanaceae family, is an annual about 50% of African production (Erinle, 1989; Fajinmi, herbaceous fruiting plant and is widely cultivated in 2006) making Nigeria the largest producer of pepper in Nigeria by subsistence farmers (George, 2004). tropical Africa. Pepper provides nutritional and financial The crop is important as a source of vitamin A and C benefits to local farmers, enhances food palatability and in human diet (Tukru, 2007), contains antioxidant is also rich in vitamin C (Ali, 2006). They are consumed with some anticancer properties (Ibitoye et. al., fresh and in a variety of processed products worldwide. 2009) and is useful in making soups (Hill and Waller, They are used as condiments or spices to add flavor or 1999). pungency to food. Pepper (Capsicum spp) belongs to the Many farmers have no knowledge of disease family Solanaceae. In Nigeria, Pepper is cultivated agents as such they do not incorporate management principally in south western and northern part of the practices for disease protection. They rely on older, landcountry, in the northern guinea savannah and race selections which have only low levels of genetic Sudan ecological zones (Erinle, 1989). However,

“…Moreover, it plays an important health role, due to its contribution in prevention of heart and cancer disease (Temple, 2000;Hamid et al, 2010). In Palestine, tomato is considered as the most important and popular vegetable crop, and it is a part of many traditional meals and folkloric medicine (Sawalha, 2014). It is mostly grown in green houses (Angioni et al, 2012).…”

Quality of agricultural products is a very important issue for consumers as well as for farmers in relation to price, health and flavour. One of the factors that determine the quality is the absence of pathogens that can cause diseases for products and also for consumers. An advanced method to sense pathogens and their antagonists is the use of Visible/Near Infrared (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy. In this paper, the VIS/NIR spectroscopy, with the help of two techniques of multivariate data analysis (MVDA); namely principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM)-classification; showed very reliable results for sensing two artificially inoculated fungi (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici and Rhizoctonia solani), and two antagonistic bacteria (Bacillus atrophaeus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The two fungi cause loss of quality and quantity for tomatoes. The results showed that the lowest classification rates using VIS/NIR spectroscopy for pathogens, antagonistic and their combinations were 90%, 85% and 74%, respectively. These results open a wide range for using VIS/NIR spectroscopy sensor technology for agricultural commodities quality at quality control checkpoints.
