Sweet peppers are among the most appreciated vegetable species, renowned for their important nutrients and organoleptic properties. Although their cultivation is mainly carried out in the main crop, for the present study, the sweet peppers were established in a tunnel, in a successive system of culture, after the early cabbage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the fertilization regime and the cultivar on biochemical and agroproductive characteristics of three sweet pepper hybrids grown in tunnel in a successive system. The experimental protocol consisted in the organization of a bifactorial experience, placed in subdivided plots, with three repetitions: Factor A – Sweet pepper hybrid (a1 - Reno F1, a2 - Traian F1, a3 - Bihar F1) and Factor B – Fertilization regime (b1 - unfertilized, b2 - organic fertilization, b3 - chemical fertilization). Results showed significant influence of the fertilization regime on yields, the best quantitative values being obtained following chemical fertilization (1.52 kg/plant). Conversely, the highest vitamin C content (127.40 mg/100 g product) was observed with organic fertilization.
