The hot pepper developmental
work in Antigua initiated in 1989 is reviewed and recommendations made
for improvement of the two hot pepper populations in Antigua—(1) yellow
fruited with the required pungency and about 15 % of the fruit expressing
the “Scotch Bonnet” shape and (2) seed producing red, predominantly “lantern”
shaped fruit.

Hot pepper seed production
in Antigua
|
CARDI Mimeo 2 pp.
|
After some difficulty
in determining exactly what varietal characteristics were required in
the market, seed of a red lantern type and the yellow Scotch Bonnet have
been produced since 1989. Seed is treated with 10% sodium phosphate for
30 minutes to reduce levels of Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMV) should
it be present on the testa.

Germplasm Collection and
Evaluation

Annual Technical Report
1990/91- Antigua and Barbuda Unit
|
-
Accessions
of germplasm collected within the Caribbean were planted out in single
row (20’) observation plots in Antigua and detailed descriptions made
using the IBPGR descriptors as a base.
-
The
data demonstrates considerable diversity of germplasm available within
the West Indian pepper types.
- A varietal description
is given of the West Indies Hot which is not a true variety that is
genetically pure but is rather a population of related types that, in
aggregate, maintain a fairly stable set of plant and fruit characteristics.

The paper deals with activities,
which include characterization of Scotch Bonnet and lantern type peppers,
selection for suitable fruit shape, sampling and analysis of plant tissues
for virus infection and development of methods for seed extraction. Good
yield of high quality seed, treated for TMV type viruses have been produced
and made available throughout the OECS countries.

Hot pepper (Capsicum frutescens
L.) seeds were dried for 24 hours at 30, 35, 45 and 50 ºC or over silica
gel and stored at 30 ºC. Seeds dried at 45 and 50 ºC. deteriorated rapidly
in storage whereas there was no appreciable deterioration in seeds dried
at 35 ºC or over silica gel, even
after 10 months.

Report 1988

After 8 months storage in polyethylene packets at 7.8%
moisture content, there were significant differences in viability of hot
pepper (local red) seed stored at room temperature, 22 ºC
and 10 ºC. There was no difference in storability between seed
soaked for 5 hours at 30 ºC in tocopherol
dissolved acetone and untreated seed (8.5, 4.5 and 3.5 % moisture content)
and stored at 33 ºC. However, at 8.5 5 m.c both treated and untreated
seed were dead after 10 months in storage.

Progress in the hot pepper
breeding programme

CARDI Mimeo 5 pp. 199??
|
A description is given
of the CARDI Breeding Programme coordinated out of Barbados. The specific
objectives are outlined along with the methodology to be employed. Regional
collaborators are listed. Over 100 accessions of hot pepper germplasm
have been put together and maintained.
Three breeding lines of
West Indies Red have been identified and are in a second cycle of recurrent
selection.

Comments/Analysis
|
-
Although
the market preference is for the “Scotch Bonnet” type, the selection
developed by CARDI has entered into niche markets.
- Information on the
development of these selections is available in the Antigua Annual Report
1990/91
- The
selections have been described according to the IBPGR descriptors.
- Complete information
on the development of these selections is available in the paper (Cooper
and Gordon 1992) which describes varietal identification and selection,
production of seed, disease management and seed health and methods of
seed extraction and treatment
- Information on methods of seed production is also
available in the Antigua Annual Report 1990/91.
- If farmers are to be
involved in seed production, a guide is needed on how this process should
be managed.
-
The
work of Indalsingh (1992) indicated that hot pepper seeds dried at
35 ºC over silica gel could be stored with
no appreciable deterioration even after 10 months
- From the CARDI Breeding
Programme in Barbados, three breeding lines of West Indies Red have
been identified and are in a second cycle of recurrent selection.
