Abstract
Pepper plants Capsicum annuum L. var. California Wonder were grown in nutrient solutions of either −3.0 or −5.0 bars osmotic potential, using polyethylene glycol with molecular weights of 400, 600, 1000, 1540, or 4000 as osmotica. Polyethylene glycol with molecular weights of 1000 or 1540 proved most satisfactory as osmotica to decrease the water potential of nutrient solutions.Keywords
