The impact of seedlings on yield and fruit quality of pepper grafted Somborka cultivar (Capsicum annuum L.) under common open field conditions
Session
Agriculture, Food Science and Technology
Description
The study's objective was to evaluate grafted seedlings' effects on yield and fruit quality of pepper (Capsicum annuum L), Somborka cultivar under common open field conditions. The experiment was carried out at a farmer’s field in Llausha, Skenderaj municipality of Kosovo. Pepper grafted seedlings (GS) in two different rootstocks (Rokal and Fortama F1) and non-grafted seedlings (NG) were applied for the pepper cultivar Somborka. The effects of grafted seedlings on yield, the number of fruits, mesocarp thickness, and fruit weight were estimated under common open field conditions. The results of the experimental data revealed that the application of the grafted seedlings (GS) recorded significantly the highest yield, more number of fruits per plant, and the thickness of the mesocarp was higher compared with non-grafted (NG). No significant differences exist between the two applied pepper rootstocks on estimated parameters.
