    Certain factors affecting the production of container-grown ornamental peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)

    Leong, Alfred G. B.
    Abstract
    The objectives of this study were to examine three aspects of the production of Capsicum spp. grown as ornamental peppers: 1. Nutritional trials are set up to examine the influence of N, P, K, Ca and Mg on growth and quality of container-grown ornamental peppers and to determine suitable nutrient levels for a potting mix to be used for the production of these peppers. 2. Shade experiments are conducted to study the influence of light levels on the production of container-grown ornamental peppers and to recommend, if appropriate, a specific production light level for optimum growth and plant quality. 3. Experiments with growth regulators are intended to investigate the value of foliar sprays of B9, CCC and Ethrel as a substitute for hand-pinching to produce compact and high quality ornamental peppers. Recommendations could then be made on suitable spray concentrations for each of these growth regulators.... [Show full abstract]
