Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the effect of different concentrations of kinetin on the growth and productivity of Capsicum frutescens fruits. The experiment was carried out following a randomized block design with five treatments, six replications and the plot consisting of two useful plants in the field. The experiment was conducted in the rainy season without irrigation and randomized block design with five concentrations of kinetin: 0 (control), 20 mg L-1, 40 mg L-1, 80 mg L-1 and 160 mg L-1 with applications every 15 days in a volume of 10 ml/plant started on 1/29 when the plants were 20 days old. At 10 days after the last kinetin application, the plants were analyzed. The application of kinetin in Capsicum frutescens promoted morphophysiological changes in plants with greater partitioning of assimilates for the root system in relation to the aerial part, but does not significantly influence the productivity of these plants; further studies with varying concentrations of kinetin are necessary to obtain the dose-response curve.
