Abstract

The study highlights the nutritional value of sweet pepper, which is high in antioxidants, vitamins, and other health-promoting properties. It also contains capsaicin, which boosts metabolism, helps burn calories, and contributes to weight loss. It also contains vitamin C, which helps to strengthen the immune system and improves its ability to function properly in the body. Sweet peppers are high in vitamin C, so eating them regularly helps to strengthen the immune system. Many insects and animal pests attack peppers. Nematodes are one of the most important pests, causing significant losses if not controlled. Several genera of parasitic nematodes associated with pepper plants in Egypt have been documented, including the root-knot nematode, canker nematode, ring nematode, dagger nematode, and spiral nematode.
