P. 62550, MÉXICO. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract eaf area index (LAI) is a useful variable to characterize crop dynamics, productivity and water requirements. 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.

  • Of Hot Peppers
    THE OF HOT PEPPERS COM . updated 03/2016 SUPER HOTS 800,000+ SHU Carolina Reaper 1,569,383 - 2,200,000 SHU As of August, 2013, Guinness World Records stated that Smokin’ Ed’s Carolina Reaper® is officially the world’s hottest chile pepper. The original cross was between two former world record holders, a ghost pepper and a Red Savina Habanero. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 1,200,000 - 2,000,000 SHU The New Mexico State University’s Chile Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the newest hottest chile pepper in the world as of February 2012. The Trinidad moruga scorpion has a tender fruit-like flavor, which makes it a deadly sweet-hot combination. 7 Pot/Pod Douglah (Trinidad Douglah) 923,000 - 1,853,396 SHU From Trinidad, it’s said that 1 pod will spice seven pots of stew. It is a rare and extremely hot chile. The Douglah is characterized by a dark brown/deep purple skin with many “pimples” over the surface. The pepper starts out green and matures to the dark color unique to the Douglah. 7 Pot Brown (Chocolate 7 Pot) 800,000 - 1,853,396 SHU There is still some debate as to whether the brown or chocolate 7 Pot is the same variety as the Douglah (above) while some contend that the 7 Pot Brown tastes much better than the Douglah. Ripe pods are brown in color, with the white internal membrane covering much of the inside of the pepper. 7 Pot Primo 1,473,480 SHU Created by Troy Primeaux, (nickname Primo), a horticulturist from Louisiana, the 7 Pot Primo can get very lumpy and distorted and even grow a skinny little tail.
