OLIVET-RODRIGUEZ, Yosvel Enrique  and  COBAS-HERNANDEZ, Daimara. Influence of different planting frames on the development of the hybrid pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) ‘Carleza’ under protected cultivation. cultrop [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.3, e15.  Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 0258-5936.

The work was developed with the objective of evaluating the influence of three planting frames in the development of the hybrid pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) ‘Carleza’, under protected cultivation, in a Basic Business Unit of Protected and Semi-protected Crops of the Company “Paquito Rosales Benítez” from Yara municipality, Granma, Cuba. It was used a random block design with three treatments: planting frame 15 cm away (T1), planting frame 40 cm away (T2) and planting frame at 20 cm (T3) and 3 replications. All this, to study the morphological and agronomic parameters of the crop: plant height, stem thickness, fruit length and diameter, number of fruits per plant and agricultural yield after transplanting pepper crop. All of them were compared by means of a double classification analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the statistical package STATISTICA and when there were significant differences, the Fisher's LSD multiple comparison test for a probability p <0.95. The results allowed determining that the T2 planting frame provided an agricultural yield of 19.00 t ha-1; plants reached a stem 15.33 mm thick by 140.00 cm high and fruits with an average length of 7.98 cm by 8.75 cm in diameter.

Keywords : fruits; agricultural yield; stem thickness; length and diameter.
