Abstract
SummaryThe effects of day and night humidity levels on autumn- and spring-grown sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were investigated in two glasshouse experiments. In the autumn experiment, four different humidity levels during the night were compared. In the spring experiment a high or low humidity by day was combined with either a high or low humidity during the night. The vapour pressure deficits achieved over the period in which the treatments were applied, varied from 0.33 to 0.79 kPa by day, from 0.27 to 0.86 kPa by night and the 24-h mean varied from 0.30 to 0.78 kPa. Temperature differences between the treatments were not more than 0.5°C. No detrimental effects of humidity on growth were observed. Neither vegetative growth nor early or final yields were significantly correlated with humidity by day, night or 24-h mean but the mean fruit weight was increased by high humidity by night.
