AMADOR-RAMIREZ, Mario; VELASQUEZ-VALLE, Rodolfo  y  SANCHEZ-TOLEDANO, Blanca. Effect of reduced and conventional management on dry chili pepper at the North Central Region of  México. Bioagro [online]. 2013, vol.25, n.2, pp.129-136. ISSN 1316-3361.

With the aim of measuring the response on the growth and yield of dry chili pepper to soil management without primary tillage and use of a rolling cultivator as part of the secondary tillage, a study was carried out during three years at the High Plains of Zacatecas. Plant stem diameter at El Porvenir was influenced by the reduction of agricultural activities, unlike plant height. Plant height and stem diameter at the CEZAC showed no definite response to the action of the management systems. In the CEZAC, chili pepper first quality yields were higher with conventional than with reduced management in two of the three years of the study. In El Porvenir, the total and first quality yields were not affected by any of the management systems. The chili pepper first quality obtained with the conventional management system proposed by the CEZAC yielded more than the conventional system from the producer of El Porvenir. The crop yield was always higher or tended to be higher under conventional tillage than under reduced tillage.
