Abstract
The aim of our research was to determine the particular plant density suitable for spice pepper hybrids and in elaborating the trellis system and the pruning method under plastic cover. We studied the effect of picking frequency and trellis type on yields and fruit quality. Containers in the first 3 treatments were arranged in twin rows (90+60x32cm plant spacing). In the case of the other treatments a single row arrangement was applied (150x16cm plant spacing). Plants were pruned to 2 stems and 4 of them were planted on each m2, in 4 repeats. Based on the results, the planting of 1 plant per container had more favourable influence on fruit number and yields than the planting method of 2 plants per container.
