The response of chile peppers (Capsicum spp.) to different irrigation systems is an important factor affecting crop yield, quality parameters, and resistance to soil-borne diseases. The choice of irrigation method significantly impacts fruit size dev...
This paper presents a study on the robotic harvesting of New Mexico type chile pepper, in a laboratory setting, using a five degrees of freedom (DoF) serial manipulator. The end-effector of the manipulator, a scissor-type cutting mechanism, was devis...
U.S. per-capita chile consumption and foreign imports have increased over the last twenty years while domestic production has fallen. To maintain market share, U.S. chile producers must increase crop revenues and/or decrease production expenses. A be...
In recent years, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approaches have been widely implemented to identify genomic regions affecting variation for different traits for marker-assisted selection (MAS). Meta-QTL analysis for different traits in chile p...
“Spicy pepper” is a term used to describe a variety of “pungent” peppers, sometimes referred to as hot, chili, or chile. The USDA reports that the per capita availability of chile peppers has increased more than 100% since the early 1980s. While the...
Chile peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) are good sources of vitamins and minerals that can be included in the diet to mitigate nutritional deficiencies. Metabolomics examines the metabolites involved in biological pathways to understand the genes related...
Freshwater availability is declining in most of semi-arid and arid regions across the world, including the southwestern United States. The use of marginal quality groundwater has been increasing for sustaining agriculture in these arid regions. Rever...
Peppers (Capsicum annuum) are one of the most widely cultivated vegetable crops, with per capita consumption of bell and chile peppers being 11.4 and 7.7 pounds in 2017. Biostimulants are an emerging sustainable alternative to enhance plant health by...
Berry fruits of Capsicum annuum L. cv. “Cacho de Cabra” are used for the manufacture of a traditional pepper powder known as Merkén. In the present study, aflatoxins (AFs) and ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination in berry fruits of C....
Chili pepper is produced by family farmers in central Chile incorporating modern technologies and maintaining traditional practices. Although chili pepper is deeply rooted in the local culture, the agricultural system supporting its production and th...
Heat tolerance is important for the sustainable production of many crops, including chile pepper. Tolerance to high temperature is complex and involves various component traits, with pollen viability being among the most important. in vitro pollen as...
Paprika-type chile (Capsicum annuum L.) crops are susceptible to plant population losses through pest activity, disease, and extreme weather events such as hail storms. This study was conducted to determine the influence of intensity and timing of pl...
Drimys winteri J.R. Forst. & G. Forst (D.C) G. Gray, var. chilensis (canelo) is an endemic tree from Chile. Since pre-Columbian times, it has produced a fruit known as the canelo pepper, (pimienta de canelo) or Foye pepper, which can be used as a...
