As a cultivar group of the pepper plant (Capsicum annuum, Solanaceae), bell peppers (var. longum) produce large bell-shaped capsicum fruits of different colors. They lack the spiciness of the second cultivar group, chili pepper, since they contain no capsaicin. We provide information about the numerous aspects of production of bell pepper including cultivation, pests and diseases, harvest, postharvest and storage.
