(253) TAM `Dulcito' and `Tropic Bell'—Two New Sweet Peppers with Enhanced Beneficial Phytochemical Levels

Comparison of the ability to recover physiological traits of hot peppers and sweet peppers after high temperature stress

Process Neural Network Method: Case Study I: Discrimination of Sweet Red Peppers Prepared by Different Methods

This study utilized a feed-forward neural network model along with computer vision techniques to discriminate sweet red pepper products prepared by different methods such as freezing and pureeing. The differences among the fresh, frozen and pureed samples are investigated by studying their bio-crystallogram images. The dissimilarity in visually analyzed bio-crystallogram images are defined as t...

In-Field Peduncle Detection of Sweet Peppers for Robotic Harvesting: a comparative study

Robotic harvesting of crops has the potential to disrupt current agricultural practices. A key element to enabling robotic harvesting is to safely remove the crop from the plant which often involves locating and cutting the peduncle, the part of the crop that attaches it to the main stem of the plant. In this paper we present a comparative study of two methods for performing peduncle detection....

Impacting Phytophthora Root Rot Severity with High Metallic Content Municipal Refuse on Sweet Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)

The potentials of poultry, farmyard and refuse dump manures for management of Phytophthora root rot on sweet peppers, Capsicum annuum was evaluated in pot experiments under controlled conditions. Five week-old seedlings of pepper varieties were transplanted into heat sterilized soil amended with poultry, farmyard and refuse dump manures at 2, 4 and 8 tons/ha. The pots were arranged in complete ...
