| Résumé : |
Black pepper, popularly known as the “King of Spices”, has a very checkered history dating back to the times of Queen Sheeba and King Solomon (BC 1015–BC 66) and has influenced the destiny of nations and their people, spread across the world, both economically and culturally. Today pepper commands the leading position among the different spices as the spice of immense commercial importance in world trade and is finding its way into the dietary habits of millions around the world, even among people on the European and North American continents, hitherto unaccustomed to its use. Pepper use ranges from a simple dietary constituent to that of immense pharmacological benefits. Though beset with many problems, both agronomic and economic, it is a safe bet that pepper will emerge as the world’s most sought after spice, its predicted global demand escalating colossally to about 280,000 metric tons by the year 2020 that will further climb to 360,000 metric tons by the year 2050. This very exhaustive review details the various constraints to enhancing productivity of pepper and charts contours of a new course of action. Among the primary constraints in pepper production is the absence of an ideotype that combines many positive traits to boost production potential, whilst at the same time resisting ravages of nature such as the onslaught of the dreaded disease “Foot Rot” caused by Phytophthora fungi, whch is the most devastating. Fertility management of pepper soils is still rooted in classical “text book” knowledge. The review also includes the relevance of a refreshing new concept, developed by the author, which is now universally known as “the nutrient buffer power concept”, in enhancing pepper productivity. |
