Abstract
Two long eggplant (Solanummelongena L.) hybrids, Nitta/Molokai F1 and Nitta/Waimanalo F1, were released to growers. The hybrids represent an improvement over presently grown cultivars by producing higher yields of quality fruit. Quality factors such as dark maroon color, uniformity of fruit shape and long shelf life are important considerations for growers and consumers. Two pepper varieties (Capsicumannuum L.), `Kaala' and `Waialua' were developed for those areas in Hawaii and the subtropics which have limited pepper production because of bacterial wilt (Pseudomonus solanacearum). The varieties were the result of a cross between `Chabai Merah' and keystone Resistant Giant. `Chabai Merah', a Malaysian pepper variety is highly resistant to bacterial welt and rootknot nematode. `Kaala' is a sweet pepper and is highly tolerant to bacterial wilt if grown at temperature below 27%. Waialua is a pungent type pepper and is highly resistant to bacterial wilt.
