Examination of Yield Components and the Relationship Between Dry Matter Production and Fruit Yield in Greenhouse Sweet Pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i>)

To improve the yield of sweet peppers in Japan, we investigated relationships between plant growth characteristics and fruit yield, with a particular focus on dry matter production. Fruit fresh weight (i.e., yield) was highly correlated weight. Aboveground production both light use efficiency intercepted photosynthetically active radiation. Although number fruits set ratio, no correlation found fraction distributed to fruit. The partitioned varied by stage, potentially due fluctuation called “flush”. Together, these findings suggest that should first improving efficiency.
