| dc.description.abstract | Chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) are the most widely used spices for any cuisines and are getting popular not only as spices but also as a kind of vegetable. Taste components are very important factors when chili pepper using as a vegetable. Therefore, present experiment was conducted to find out the effect of salinity stress on the Brix, pod parameters, yield, and plant growth in chili pepper. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse condition with three salinity levels using NaCl. The results and outcomes show that salinity stress conditions positively affect the Brix percentage of the harvest. However, salinity stress conditions negatively affected the plant growth and yield parameters. | |
