Abstract
Application of a growth regulator, Biozyme was evaluated in escabeche pepper (Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum) in the Cañete Valley, Peru.
Treatments were 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 applications of a growth regulator between 15 and 75 days after transplant.
A completely randomized block design with four replications was used.
Yield, number of fruits per plant and fruit set were not influenced by the application of the growth regulator.
Five applications between 15 and 75 days after transplant showed fruits with the highest values in width and average weight, also had the fruits with the highest number of seeds per fruit, with statistical differences.
With four applications between 15 and 60 days after transplant the longest fruit were obtained.
Also, this treatment showed the highest dry matter percentage in stems, with statistical differences.
