B, and plot C produced total fresh fruit yields of 2.45 tons/ha, 2.1 tons/ha, and 1.768 tons/ha, respectively. Radiation use efficiency was 1.297b±0.1487 g/MJ for plot A, 1.018ab±0.0316 g/MJ for plot B, and 0.902a ±0.0624 g/MJ for plot C. Significant differences were observed between these values (p<0.05). The results demonstrate a positive correlation between increased yield and higher RUE. To enhance chili pepper production, farmers can improve RUE by optimizing management practices such as adjusting plant spacing and plant density.
