This study was carried out under controlled climatic conditions to determine the response of some economically important pepper cultivars grown in Turkey against some isolates of V. dahliae. Bafra F1, Ergenekon F1 hybrid cultivars and Sena, Sera Demre 8, Doru 16 registered domestic pepper cultivars were used in this study. V. dahliae isolates (Bisak 16, Kahramanmaraş, Karpuz-2, Karpuz-4, Kayseri) obtained from different regions and hosts and diagnosed were used as a source of inoculums. The disease severity on inoculated plants in pots were calculated according to severity of the wilting (0-5 scale) and browning of stem cut (0-3 scale). Significant differences were observed between pepper cultivars in terms of susceptibility to V. dahliae isolates. According to the study results, when the leaf symptoms were evaluated, varieties resistant to wilt disease were Ergenekon F1 and Bafra F1, while Sera Demre-8 was determined as a susceptible variety. According to the browning symptoms of stem cut, while the resistant variety was Ergenekon F1, Sena was determined as the sensitive variety. © 2021, Centenary University.
