Preliminary Selection of Pepper Varieties Suitable for High Mountain Areas of Weng'an County,Guizhou Province
In order to screen new varieties of chili peppers suitable for high-altitude cultivation in Weng'an County,this experiment selected 11 new varieties of chili peppers from Guizhou Province for high-altitude cultivation experiments.Using Hongla 18 as the control,the yield,botanical traits,resistance,and capsaicin content of the varieties were measured and analyzed.The experimental results showed that the comprehensive performance of four new varieties,including Layan 11,Layan 12,Laonong Changxian,and Hongla 2,were better than Hongla 18,and their plants grew vigorously with high yield,strong resistance,and high capsaicin content.Therefore,these four varieties can be recommended for cultivation in the high-altitude areas of Weng'an County.
