Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the phenotypic variation and relationship among capsicum species grown in Kashere, Gombe State. The field experiment consisted of six (6) varieties of pepper laid in a randomized complete block design in three replications. Growth and yield characters were recorded. Significant differences were observed among the studied peppers in terms of growth and yield performance. Variety 4 significantly gave the highest yield compared with other varieties studied during the period of the study. Significant positive and negative relationships were observed among the characters of the pepper studied. From the above studies, variety 4 could be suggested for production in Kashere and its environs.
