) with two bell pepper cultivars, ‘Bruno’ and ‘Rubia. ’Biomass and yield were reduced with increasing salinity. The contents of chlorophyll a, b and total decreased with increasing salinity. There was an increase in proline content and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), showing the activation of the antioxidant defense mechanism. The higher yield in the cv. ‘Rubia, a’ s well as the greater activity of the APX and the lower levels of chlorophyll content, reflect the best acclimatization of this cultivar to saline stress. The estimated yield of the cv. ‘Rubia’, 39.9 t ha
