Breeding,Characteristics and Cultivation Techniques of New Hot Pepper(Capsicum annuum)Varieties Eating as Fresh and Dry Fruits

[Objective] The purpose was to supply a theoretical basis for the popularization and cultivation of new hot pepper variety Wanjiao18.[Method] Through comparing the yield,quality and disease resistance indices of Wanjiao18 with control,the production potential and popularization value of Wanjiao18 were discussed.[Result] The mid-early maturity hot pepper hybrid Wanjiao18 has conical fruit with smooth skin;Its fruit length is 17-20 cm,fruit shoulder is 1.6-1.8 cm;Its fresh weight per fruit is 20-25 g,and dry weight per fruit is 3.0-4.5 g;Its fruit shape index is 10.9,thickness is 0.23 cm,ventricle number is 2-3;Its fresh fruit is dark green,and dry fruit is dull-red and bright.Wanjiao18 has strong continuous fruit-setting ability,and yield is over 3×104 kg/hm2 in general,is significant higher than that of control 8819;Its dry matter content,crude fat content,crude fibre content and total sugar content are all lower than those of control Xiangla2hao,but the red pigment value,VC content and capsaicine content are all higher that those of control Xiangla2hao;As a whole,its quality is superior to control Xiangla2hao.Wanjiao18 is resistant to virus disease,and is high resistant to anthracnose,phytophthora disease and bacterial wilt,so has strong disease resistance.[Conclusion] Wanjiao18 has characteristics of early maturity,good quality and high yield,is a multiple usages variety as green pepper,red pepper and producing into dry pepper,and is suitable for growing in Anhui,Hunan,Jiangsu and Yunnan and so on,has a good and application future,popularization.
