of a commercial preparation (BA plus GA4+7) called accel, on
growth and yield of hot pepper. Five concentrations: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20
and 25 mg L-1 of the preparation were used. Concentrations
of 10, 15, 20 and 25 mg L-1 significantly (p<0.001) increased
yield in a two year pooled data. Accel treatment did not significantly
affect number of fruits, number of branches and plant height. The increase
in yield due to accel treatment was associated with significant increase
in fruit fresh weight (p<0.001) and length (p<0.001). Therefore
the increase in yield was attributed to increase in fruit size. Accel
application has the potential to be used as a management practice in greenhouse
production of hot pepper.]]>Batlang, U., V.E. Emongor and F. Pule-Meulenberg,2006Cucumis sativus L. cv. tempo).]]>5418423Contreras-Padilla, M. and E.M. Yahia,19984620752079Dyer, D., J.C.
