The study was carried out at Horticultural Experimental Station "San Agustín" University of Orient, Caripe, State, Monagas, with the objective of evaluating the agronomic performance of seven
Capsicum annuum
cultivars. A randomized block design with seven treatments and four replications per treatment was used. Cultivars presented differences at blooming initiation from three to eight days. The most latest cultivars were "Enterprise" (35.0 days) and "Master 714" (34.8 days). "Esmeralo" (12.5 t*ha
-1) and "Prima Donna" (12.4 t*ha
-1) were the highest yielding cultivars. The cv. "Master 714" produced the longest fruits (11.47 cm) and "Esmeralo" the wider ones (7.14 cm). The heavier fruits were produced by "Esmeralo" (136.3 g), "Camelot" (128.1 g) and "Prima Donna" (120.4 g) with no statistical differences among them. The largest number of fruits per plant was obtained by "Master 714" (8.0). The best cultivars for fruit weight per plant were "Esmeralo" (500 g) and "Prima donna" (494 g). The largest number of fruits per kilogram was obtained by "Enterprise" (23.1) and "Master 714" (22.9). "Master 714" had the lowest number of locule*fruit
-1 (2.92). There was no statistical difference for number days to first harvest among cultivars. The overall average was 75.4 days. Fruits of "Prima donna", "Esmeralo" and "Karma I" are rounded, while "Camelot", "Enterprise" and "Cacique" have square fruits and "Master 714" fruits of elongated shape.
