Abstract
Capsicum annuum is the widely cultivated and consumed species in the world. Planting virus-resistant chili varieties is one of the reliable disease control strategies to overcome viral attacks. Local high-yielding varieties can be used as a source of germplasm in the assembly of chili peppers resistant to Begomovirus. This study is aimed to determine the growth and yield some chili pepper in response to Begomovirus resistance. This research was carried out at the Saree Agricultural Extension Training Center and Horticulture Laboratory at Syiah Kuala University. This research was designed using a non-factorial Randomized Block Design. Planting materials used were four chili pepper, namely as genotype of Perintis, Lolay, Karo and Kencana as a variety of comparison. The results showed that genotype Perintis and Lolay have better in plant height, plant stem diameter, the faster flowering time, the best of fruit weight per plant and weight per fruit. The faster harvest times and the number of fruits per plant are found in genotype Perintis. Genotype Perintis has slowly attached by Begomovirus, but at the age 135 days after transplanting, all of the plants (Perintis, Lolay, Karo, Kencana) were attacked by Begomovirus.
