Abstract
Abstract Indoleacetic acid (IAA), benzyladenine (BA) and (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) were applied to pinched and non-pinched ornamental peppers (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Teno) before, after, or at the time of pinching. Ethephon increased the number of lateral branches, but reduced growth, delayed flowering, reduced the number of flowers per branch thus reducing fruit production. Ethephon applied at 300 ppm 2 weeks post-pinching substituted for hand pinching. BA and IAA had no desirable effect on ornamental characteristics of treated plants.
