Five plants in each replication were used to assess plant height, leaf nurnber, number and leagth stems at three growing stages including vegetative, flowering and fruiting. Leaf chlorophyll content was measured by a portable chlorophyll meter (SPAD-502, Minolta Corporation, Ramsey, NJ, USA). Leaf samples were oven dried at 70 C for 48 h and leaf dry weight for each plant was obtained. Days t0 50% flowering were estimated for each plot and number of flowers per plant was evaluated based on the method by Remison (1997). Mature fruits were harvested at weekly intevals to assess the number and volume of fruits (cm), averags fruit weight (g) and fruit yield per plant cg plant. Vitamin C was determined by titration of fruit juices with Indophenol Method and indicated as mg ascorbic acid per 100 mL (AOAC,2000)
