Abstract

Experiments were conducted on the response of three selected Capsicum species to irrigation regimes on growth, development and fruit yield. Growth pattern among the three pepper accessions were not similar as they all responded differently to the imposed irrigation regimes. Height of Capsicum chinense was significantly higher compared to those of Capsicum frutescens and Capsicum annum. Continuous shoot growth was recorded at post-flowering and fruiting with Capsicum chinense compared to Capsicum frutescens in which flowering and fruit formation terminates plant height development. Leaves development across the three pepper varieties varies with irrigation regimes. Closer irrigation interval favours shoot development in term of stem height, stem branch development, flowering and fruit production. Fruit yield were influenced by irrigation regimes of 2 and 4 days irrigation intervals. Root development was also positively enhanced by irrigation regimes as tap and lateral root length were favoured by 4 and 6 days irrigation intervals.
