To explore the possibility of using shade net houses for year-round production of sweet pepper, an experiment was conducted in Killikulam, Tamil Nadu, India, using two sweet pepper cultivars (Indra and Kohinoor) during two seasons (September 2004-March 2005 (Season I) and June-December 2005 (Season II)) under three levels of shade (open field condition, 35% shade and 50% shade). Observations were recorded on yield characters, physiological characters and biochemical constituents. Results showed that 35% shade is most suitable for cultivating sweet pepper under tropical conditions and Indra is a suitable cultivar under shade net for year-round cultivation.
