Pepper (Capsicum anuum L.) is a very popular and profitable crop in Bulgaria and its production is growing rapidly as wetl as the importance of diseases. In recent years, an the influence of Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.) on many types of pepper has been observed in our country resulting in significant reduction in yields. The propose of this study was to investigate by artificial contamination of local resistance of pepper samples to Verticillium dahliae. The results of this survey showed that only eight of the tested samples were medium sensitive whit a coefficient between 30-50%.
