Abstract

The consumption of pepper is quite common in Brazil, being used not only in food, but also in the pharmaceutical and hygienic segment, providing health benefits for having antibiotic effects, anti-inflammatory action and several vitamins. The objective of this work was to characterize the growth curve of the biquinho-type pepper plant, using the nonlinear regression models logistic, Gompertz and von Bertalanffy, to the plant's height data subjected to irrigation of 20% of its water requirement. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, belonging to the Agricultural Engineering Academic Unit (UAEAg) of the Federal University of Campina Grande - UFCG. All the models used proved to be appropriate, but the von Bertalanffy model was the most adequate to fit the data according to the AIC statistics, estimating a maximum growth of 7.58cm for the plants in 163 days after sowing the crop. with the highest speed of growth per day obtained up to 38 days after sowing, when the height reached was 2.27cm.
