An experiment was
conducted, with six pepper (Capsicum annun) varieties, in
order to select materials suitable for the different agroecological
conditions of El Salvador. The trials were
conducted in Candelaria de la Frontera, Atiquizaya y
Chalchuapa. A Completely Randomized Experimental Block
Design with four replications and six treatments was used,
composed by the varieties Nathalie, Comandante, Lido,
Tikal, Quetzal and a local variety as control. The variance
analysis showed significant differences for the following
variables: plant height, length, weight, diameter, number of
fruits and yield, in the combination of the three localities. The
Nathalie variety stood out for the variables of plant height
(0.49 m), number of fruits (259,500 fruits/ha), yield (25.11
t/ha) and therefore, it had the highest income ($ 19,332.80)
and the best cost-benefit ratio (3.31). The shelf-life varied
from six to nine days with respect to the different pepper
materials. The results could create the base for promoting the
Nathalie cultivar in the areas of influence.
