Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), in Solanaceae family plays a vital role in a healthy diet due to its fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Bell pepper production is significantly affected by viral, bacterial, fungal, and nematode infection. This study aimed to examine effects of cucumber mosaic virus (Cucumovirus CMV) and alfalfa mosaic virus (Alfamovirus AMV) infections on the morphological and physiological characteristics of the bell pepper cultivar California Wonder. The traits assessed included plant height, greenness index, leaf area index (LAI), fresh and dry weight of the plant, fresh fruit weight, total phenol content, vitamin C, chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids, and proximate composition, including moisture, protein, crude fiber, ash, crude fat, and carbohydrates. The results indicated that infection with CMV and AMV resulted in a significant reduction in plant height, greenness index, LAI, fresh and dry weight of the plant, chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids, vitamin C, and fresh fruit weight. No significant change was found in the total phenol content between infected and control plants. The percentages of moisture, protein, ash, crude fat, and carbohydrates were not affected by viral infections. However, the percentage of crude fiber significantly increased in infected plants. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that infection to CMV and AMV, reduces growth, yield, fresh fruit weight and vitamin C, leading to a decline in the nutritional value of bell pepper fruits.
