Includes reference

The response of pepper plants to transplanting depths and foliar application with Salicylic acid (SA) and gibberllic acid (GA) were determined under plastic greenhouse. The experiment was carried out in alkaline clay soil at Kaha Vegetable Research Station, Kalubia, Egyp, during the two successive autumn seasons of 2009/2010 & 2010/2011. Data revealed that deeper transplanting of seedling at the first true leaf or the cotyledon leaves had a greater vigor root (length and weight) which led to more rapid on vigor plant stand establishment when compared with plants that set at rootball depth (control). Transplant depth at the first true leaf followed with at the cotyledon leaves led to an increase in pepper growth in terms of plant heigt, number of leaves, number of branches, fresh and dry weights per plant as compared with the control. The deeper transplanting had also a positive effect on fruit quality (fruit length, frUit diameter, and fruit weight), yield (early yield, number of fruits per plant and total yield) and plant chemical contents (fruit ascorbic acid and leave NPK contents).
