Abstract

Anti-oxidative activity of pepper fruits, total and commercial yield, number of non-commercial and BER fruits under influence of bio-stimulant treatment and pepper hybrid were investigated in this experiment. Significantly highest anti-oxidative activity, determined by DPPH assay, was recorded in treated Century F1 hybrid pepper
plants. Also, positive significant correlation (r=0.526*) between commercial yield and anti-oxidative activity appeared. Generally, treatment with bio-stimulants positively influenced all investigated parameters in Century F1 hybrid, while in Blondy F1 significantly decreased number of non-commercial and BER fruits. At the end,
compared to untreated plants, treatment resulted in higher commercial yield in both hybrids.
