Title: Introduction and Participatoryevaluation of Exotic Cultivars of Pepper (Capsicum Spp.) among Small Holder Farmers in South- Western Nigeria Authors: kin Omotayo 1  , Claudia Ribeiro 2 , Anthony K. Oluleye 3 and Ayodele Fajin mi 4 Abstract: Pepper (Capsicum spp.) production by farmers in southwestern Nigeria is limited by low yield due to poor genetic potentials of most cultivars available, use of poor quality seeds, disease infestation, and poor managment practices among others. To overcome the constraints, some varieties of pepper developed at Embrapa Brazil and NIHORT Nigeria, were introducedfollowed bytraining of 1 00 small scale farmers . Participatory field demonstrations of the improved varieties of pepper were carried out to determine acceptability some of these pepp er varieties among f armers . T he two Brazilian sweet bell peppers (Z105 , Z103 ) singificantly outyielded the local variety (F102). Two of the Rhombus shaped vaireties introduced (Z106 and Z107) also recorded sifgnificantly h igher yield than t he local varieties. Famers‟ ranking of the varietiesindicates preference for all the exotic lines on all paramters . Based on the results , four Brazillian vareit ies, Z103, Z105, Z106 and Z107 we re selected for widespread promotion . Description: 3.3. Farmers ’ Ranking of Pepper Varieties Following the approach by Russell [7] famers were requested to rank all the pepper varieties introduced on three paramters which are yield, disease resistance and adoption potential (Table 3) after training the faemrs on idenrtiifcation of all these parameters . On all parameters, famers who were trained show preference for all the exotic varie ties for disease resitiance of Z108 var i ety. The ranking of all the varieties appear consistent among famrers based on percieved yield except for that same variety Z108 which was ranked low and this appears to affect farmers ranking of its adoption potentia l. Farmers who were trained differed singinicantly from those who were not trained in their ranking of some of the paprameters particularly on determin ation of disease severity (DS)
