Abstract
This project work took place at school of agriculture teaching and research farm in Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro. Ozoro is located in Isoko North local government Area of Delta State. There are different varieties of pepper in Ozoro the need to screen the yield of three varieties of pepper becomes necessary. Three varieties of pepper seeds were bought from the market and were nursed for about 3 weeks before they were transplanted into the main field at a spacing of 60cm x 60cm and planting depth of 5cm. the seedling were replicated four times, in a randomize complete block design. The parameters measured are member of leaves, plant height number of branches and number of fruits at hearvest. These were taken at the interval of two weeks. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Table 1: reveals the number of leaves of three varieties of pepper. The result shows that mexi-bell hot pepper had the highest number of leaves of 17.5, 60.25 and 63.0 as against 16.75, 31.25,33.0 and 16.25, 58.35 and 60.0 for sweet bell pepper and serano hot pepper respectively. Table (2) shows the plant height (cm) of three varieties of pepper that is planted, mexi-bell hot pepper had a plant height of 8.5, 20.5 and 23 as against 6.75, 16.78, 18 and 5.77, 16.75 and 20.25 for serano hot pepper and sweet bell pepper. Table (3) shows the number of branches of three varieties of pepper. The result shows that mexi-bell hot pepper had more or highest number of branches of 3,6.5, 8 and 2.5, 4.75 and 6.25 for serano
