Summary

Bell pepper is a very important crop for its value in domestic and foreign markets. Actually, growers have adopted different management practices. In that aspect, management with different numbers of stems can define the quality and quantity of the product, as well as any increase in yield. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics of fruits in terms of the quality and postharvest of bell pepper, as well as the yield according to the number of stems grown in a hydroponic system under greenhouse conditions. The experiment consisted of four treatments: two stems (T1) and three stems (T2) on a ‘Cannon’ cultivar, as well as two stems (T3) and three stems (T4) on a ‘Bragi’ cultivar. Fruits were sampled to determine total soluble solids (TSS), titratabl
