ELIZONDO-CABALCETA, Esteban  and  MONGE-PEREZ, José Eladio. Evaluation of yield and quality of 15 bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes grown under greenhouse conditions in Costa Rica. Tecnología en Marcha [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.4, pp.3-14. ISSN 0379-3982.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18845/tm.v30i4.3407.

Yield and quality of 15 bell pepper genotypes grown under greenhouse conditions, were evaluated. Data show a wide variability between genotypes with respect to days at the beginning of harvest (74 - 83 days after transplant), number of first quality fruits per plant (2,00 - 7,25), mean first quality fruit weight (171,15 - 243,45 g), and marketable (44,29 - 77,34 ton/ha) and total yield (55,13 - 90,45 ton/ha). XC-425, MACR-103-07 and Vikingo show the highest number of first quality fruits per plant (7,25; 5,63; and 5,38, respectively). XC-425 and Vikingo show the highest marketable yield (77,34 and 75,37 ton/ha, respectively).

Keywords : Capsicum annuum; bell pepper; yield; quality; greenhouse; genotypes.
