Agronomic response of two experimental varieties of habanero chili in the application of band vermicomposting

The habanero chili pepper has great productive potential in Mexico, with an annual growth of 12.5% ​​in the planted area last five years. Objective: was to evaluate agronomic response two experimental varieties called HNC-6 orange color and HCC-8 chocolate color, belonging Center for Training Development Seed Technology. Methodology: study established under doses vermicompost, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 1.2 kg plant-1 using a completely random design 2x5 factorial arrangement. Results: variety had better than HCC-8, its yield 95 % higher, number fruits per plant 84 %, fruit length (FL) 25 pericarp thickness 28 firmness 11 average weight 4.7 %. exceeded height by 38 diameter (FD) 14 vermicompost exerted similar effect on both varieties. In conclusion, showed conditions tested. trend tested, significant interactions found FL, FD, total soluble solids indicate that application influenced quality some aspects. Conclusions: main factors determined crop are genetic component environment degree maturity vermicompost.
