Abstract

Large pod hot Pepper is solanaceae family widely grown in many parts of Ethiopia. It is grown as an annual crop and produced for its fruits. It is one of the most important vegetable crops for fresh consumption, for processing and as a spice (for making stew). A field experiment was conducted at Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center on station, Sedi Canqa and Sayo (Meti) sub sites of Kellem Wollega zone, Western Ethiopia, throughout 2019 and 2020 Melka Awaze, Oda Haro and Mareko Fana majorrainy season. Six large pod hot pepper varieties collected from Melkasa and Bako Agricultural Research and one local check variety were used as planting materials. The combined analysis of variance (ANOVA) for total dry pod yield and other agronomic componentsof seven large pod hot pepper varieties grown at three location locations in 2019 and 2020 on days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, plant canopy length, number of primary branches per plant, number of pod per plants, pod length, total dry pod yield revealed highly significant varietal difference. Likewise there was significant difference of variety on pod weight. The interaction effect of variety, location and year revealed highly significant effect days to maturity and total yield. In the present experiment, Melka Awaze and Oda Haro varieties were found superior in the case marketable yield (dry pod), tolerant to major disease and other important yield related components. ThereforeMelka Awaze and Oda Haro improved varieties are recommended for popularization and demonstration around the studied areasand similar agro-ecologies in the WestWollega and Kellem Wollega zones of hot pepper producing areas under main natural rain fed.
