Currently, its supply and demand are arising in national and global market. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal extraction timing of the seeds of C. pubescens according to physiological and physical seed qualities. Seed qualities measurement include seed weight, number of seeds per fruit, total emergence, emergence rate, mean emergence time, mean daily emergence, survival percentage, peak value and emergence value. Treatments were evaluated for comparison as follows: seed extraction ranged from 0 to 3 days after harvest (T1), and seed extraction ranged from 14 to 17 days after harvest (T2). T1 presented seeds with the best physiological qualities and a total emergence value of 84.2%, in contrast to 74.8% obtained in T2.

The three-fold aim of this work was to estimate the LAI of poplano Lpepper (Capsicum annuum L.) with a ceptometer, compare the results with the destructive method and analyze the relationship between the LAI and crop yield. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the Colegio de Postgraduados, Montecillo campus. The transplant date was April 21 and the harvest ended on November 11, 2014. Tezontle was used as substrate and drip irrigation was applied. The experiment consisted of three treatments (T): T1 (two stems), T2 (three stems) and T3 (without pruning). To estimate the LAI, a ceptometer was used to measure the radiation intercepted above and below the canopy. Leaf area was measured with the LI-3100C area meter. Results indicated that the maximum LAI occurred at flowering, corresponding to 2,096 growing degree days (GDD) with 0.93, 1.2 and 2.75 for T1, T2 and T3.

  • Native Peppers from Around the Globe
    International Gardener Native Peppers From Around the Globe By Pat Dickey & Ray Novitske, Fairfax Master Gardeners Question: Where do peppers in Indian curries, Thai noodles, Mexican enchilladas, and Chinese . .stir-fry come from? Answer: South America Even though we associate different sizes, colors, shapes, and tastes of peppers with different nationalities and cuisines, they all originate in South America. Upon being exposed to the capsicum plant in the Caribbean, Columbus thought he had come across the peppercorn, and thus called it pepper. Peppers were spread around the world as a spice, mostly by 16th century Portuguese traders interested in the lucrative spice trade. After some time and regional cultivation, new varieties popped up and became integrated into the regional cooking we are familiar with today. This is the first in a new series which will expose us to new vegetables and ornamentals that may be growing in our international gardeners’ gardens. Aji Amarillo Native South American peppers, Aji Amarillo peppers (Capsicum baccatum) are popular in Peruvian cooking. They can be used fresh for soups and sauces, made into a chili paste, or dried. The smaller Aji ‘Chinchi’ Amarillo pepper seeds were recently introduced in the US and is a cultivar of the larger Aji Amarillo species. ‘Chinchi’ bears fruit much sooner in the season than the larger Amarillo species. The peppers are also considered rare and measure only 3 inches by one-half inch. Aji ‘Chinchi’ Amarillo peppers are fruity and full of flavor with medium- Exchange Exchange high heat.

  • The Mcilhenny Family Settled on Avery Island in 1830. the Place Is a Huge Hill of Rock Salt
    The McIlhenny family settled on Avery Island in 1830. The place is a huge hill of rock salt. Edmun McIlhenny received pepper capsicum seeds from a Mexican soldier during the United Mexican War (1846-1848). In 1868, after the end of the Civil War, determined to turn peppers into income, he invented a spicy sauce using vinegar, Avery salt and chopped capsicum peppers. McIlhenny packed the aged sauce in 350 used cologne bottles and sent them as samples to wholesal- ers. From then until today, the Tabasco brand is associated worldwide as the best hot sauce. TABASCO red sauce is a spicy hot sauce made from peppers, vin- egar and salt. Hot peppers are picked by hand as soon as they ripen to the per- fect shade of bright red, pureed on the same day, mixed with a little salt from Avery Island, placed in white oak wooden barrels and left to ferment for up to three years. After inspection and approv- al by a member of the McIlhenny family, the porridge is mixed with natural cereal vinegar. Numerous stirring and about four weeks later the husks and seeds of the pepper are removed by straining. The fin- ished sauce is then bottled. Original TABASCO® sauce 60 ml, 150 ml Since 1868, Tabasco red sauce has been made from just three natural ingredients: ripe hot red peppers, island salt from the Avery Islands, and distilled natural vinegar. This simple recipe, when executed and grown with the utmost care and attention, produces an incredibly spicy, flavored hot sauce that has been adored for generations.

  • Wild Capsicum in the Area of the Amboró National Park in Bolivia
    Wild Capsicum in the area of the Amboró National Park in Bolivia Claudio Dal Zovo1, Leonardo Bruno2 1 Associazione Pepperfriends, Verona, Italy 2 Associazione Pepperfriends, Roma, Italy Abstract Bolivia is believed to be the source of the genus Capsicum; possibly Capsicum chacoense Hunz. is the species closer to the ancestor of all Capsicum species. About ten species of wild Capsicum grow in Bolivia: Capsicum baccatum L. var. baccatum, Capsicum caballeroi Nee, Capsicum cardenasii Heiser & Smith, Capsicum ceratocalyx Nee, Capsicum chacoense Hunz., Capsicum coccineum (Rusby) Hunz., Capsicum eshbaughii Barboza, Capsicum eximium Hunz., Capsicum minutiflorum (Rusby) Hunz. A couple of possible new species are under investigations. Many cultivated species are also grown and sometimes present in wild forms, especially Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav., Capsicum frutescens L., Capsicum baccatum L. var. pendulum (Willd.) Eshbaugh. These species are preserved in herbaria and described in articles through drawings, but few or no images are available. We wished to produce a better documentation of live plants and their details; so we planned a trip to Bolivia starting in the area where most of the less known species are concentrated. We visited the area around the Amboró National Park, from Santa Cruz de la Sierra up to Samaipata, Mairana and Comarapa (South side of the Park) and the area near Buena Vista (North side of the Park). We found populations of C.minutiflorum (Rusby) Hunz., C.caballeroi Nee, C.eximium Hunz., C.baccatum L. var. baccatum, C.coccineum (Rusby) Hunz., fully described and documented them with many detailed images. These species are well differentiated and each of them has particular characteristics.

  • Israel: New Arava Scorpion Peppers Pack a Punch
    Husband and wife team Kobi and Ofra Ziv-Av live and work in the sweltering conditions of Israel’s Arava Desert where they are turning their passion for fiercely hot peppers into a viable business by learning how to market their new hybrid creation – the Arava Scorpion. At www.freshfruitportal.com we spoke with the pepper aficionados to find out more. Kobi can wander around his greenhouses, pick a freshly-grown Arava Scorpion pepper from the plant and eat it whole, without even flinching or breaking into a sweat. While others approach with caution, tentatively trying a slither of his new pepper Kobi Ziv-Av creation, he happily chews down on this hot new variety named after the desert where it has been grown. Cultivating peppers has been Kobi's career and he’s mastered the art of nurturing the crop in arid, desert conditions, living the contented life of a small-scale farmer making a comfortable living by growing and selling the Habanero variety, and raising his six children. Recently though as a kind of experiment, he began to work on creating a new variety that could rival the well-known Trinidad moruga scorpion, the variety that was considered to be the most piquant and pungent chili pepper around until the Carolina Reaper came along to take the Guinness World Records title in the 2012. "I'm just a farmer, I'm no scientist," he told us. "But I know good peppers and what we have here is a very, very hot variety that we like to call the Arava scorpion.

[email protected] The objective of this work was to analyze the bioactive potential of hexane and methanol extracts of fruits of Capsicum spp., a kind of pepper collected in Roraima, Brazil, against the yeast Candida albicans, as well as antioxidant activity and antiacetylcholinesterase inhibition. The antioxidant activity of the methanol extract of the fruits was 82%. The antiacetylcholinesterase activity was high in the hexane extract reaching 71%. Hexane extract of the fruits did not present inhibition for Candida albicans. The present study demonstrated the efficacy of Capsicum spp. as a natural antioxidant and the presence of active chemical constituents that can aid in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
