Cultivar Selection for Colored Pepper Production

Authors: ,

Abstract

Specialty colored bell peppers are becoming increasingly popular to grow in Iowa. Therefore, examining different colored peppers for their yield and quality attributes is critical. Vegetable cultivar evaluations are region-specific and response could significantly vary based on weather conditions (temperature, relative humidity, rainfall), soil characteristics, and management operations. The 2018 bell pepper cultivar trial evaluated seven popular colored bell pepper cultivars to determine yield potential and susceptibility to insect, disease, and physiological disorders.
