Abstract

A study was carried out at the Horticultural Research Institute, NARC, Islamabad during 2009-2010 to investigate the growth and yield of sweet pepper hybrids under plastic tunnel. The experiment comprises five hybrids viz., Orobelle, Figaro, Green Beauty, Mighty, Capistrano with control Yolowonder. The experiment was set up in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Data were chronicled on number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per plant (kg), length of fruits (cm), diameter of fruits (cm), pericarp thickness (mm), number of locules per plant and yield (t haG 1 ). Orobella rank first regarding number of fruit/plant (43.47), fruit weight/plant (1.96 kg) and yield (51 t haG 1 ) followed by Figaro (32.84, 1.72 kg, 48.57 t haG 1 ) and Capistrano (41.48, 1.76 kg, 45.90 t haG 1 ), respectively. Mighty hybrid produced highest (5.98, 6.27 cm) value
