Abstract
The sweet pepper varieites, Keystone Giant and Yolo Wonder were used to determine the effect of fertilizer rates (0,300 and 500 kilograms complete fertilizer per hectare) and spacing (10 x 10, 20 x 20, and 30 x 30 centimeters) on yield and incidence of sunscald. In both varieties yield was obtained in the highest fertilizer rate and the widest spacing used.
The percentage of sunscalded fruits increased as the distance between plants and between rows were increased. In keyston, the control plants gave the highest percentage of sunscalded fruits while in Yolo Wonder, plants treated with the 300-kilograms rate were most affected.
