The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nutrients and mulching on fruit yield of Bell pepper at Horticulture farm, Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan (West Bengal) during rabi season 2014-15. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) consisting of nine treatments. The treatment comprising of different combinations of nutrients and mulches i.e. Nitrogen (150Kg ha-1and 200 Kg ha-1), Phosphorous (80 Kg ha-1 and 120 Kg ha-1) and mulches (Paddy straw and water hyacinth each @ 7zt ha-1) with three replications. The statistical analysis indicated that the fruit yield of bell pepper were significantly influenced by nutrients and mulching. The highest fruit yield per plant (739.31g), fruit yield per plot (12.67 kg) and fruit yield per hectare (21.12 t ha-1) were recorded in treatment T6 with 200kg N ha-1 + 80kg P₂O₅ ha-1 + Paddy straw mulch @ 7 t/ha-1.

Background: Capsicum annuum L., popularly known as bell pepper, sweet pepper and shimla mirch, is a vegetable crop in the Solanaceae family. Because of its various nutritional benefits, capsicum is ranked one of the healthiest vegetables; therefore desire for this is expanding every day. Through its importance and market requirement in consideration, a study was conducted to assess the impact of planting methods, mulches and NAA treatment on bell pepper growth, yield and economics. Methods: The study was performed at Experimental Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during Kharif seasons of year 2017-18 and 2018-19 (two years). The experiment was laid out in arandomized block design with three replications comprising twelve treatments. Result: Study revealed that T3 yielded maximum (384.69 q/ha) as well as recorded maximum values of gross return (Rs. 577,035.00/-), net return Rs. 3,52,416.93/- and comp...

The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nutrients and mulching on fruit quality and chlorophyll content of Bell pepper at Horticulture farm, Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan (West Bengal) during Rabi season 2014-15. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) consisting of nine treatments. The treatment comprising of different combinations of nutrients and mulches i.e. Nitrogen (150Kg ha-1 and 200 Kg ha-1), Phosphorous (80 Kg ha-1 and 120 Kg ha-1) and mulches (Paddy straw and water hyacinth each @ 7t ha-1) with three replications. The statistical analysis indicated that the fruit quality of bell pepper was significantly influenced by different nutrients levels and mulches. The biochemical parameters viz. Highest total soluble solids (7.41 0 Bx), chlorophyll content (63.28 SPAD) and Vitamin-C (197.64 mg/100g) were observed in treatment T8 with 200kg N ha-1 + 120kg ha-1 P₂O₅ + Paddy straw mulch @ 7 t ha-1. Control condition indicated significantly lowest result than all other treatment.

An investigation was conducted in the plastic greenhouse at experimental field of the Division of Vegetable Science, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-Kashmir) during Kharif season 2013-14 to find out the most suitable organic source and pruning pattern for optimum growth, yield and quality of sweet pepper in Kashmir valley against four different nutrient treatments (S1 :Farmyard manure @ 2.5 kg m-2, S2: Vermicompost @ 0.5 kg m-2, S3: Sheep manure @ 1.65 kg m-2 and S4: Recommended fertilizer dose (20 t FYM + NPK @ 120:90:60 kg ha-1) under two pruning levels P1 : One shoot and P2: three shoot. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data with regards to main effect revealed that organic manures through vermicompost (S2) resulted in maximum plant height (117.18 cm). In case of pruning the maximum plant height (119.18 cm) were obtained with plants pruned to one shoot (P1). Most ...

The present investigation entitled “Effect of organic and inorganic nutrient sources on growth, yield and quality of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Grown under polyhouse condition” was conducted during 2015 at the polyhouse of Department of Agriculture, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of T1: RDF (100% NPK @125:75:30 kg ha), T2: 50% RDF + Azotobacter, T3: 75% RDF + Azotobacter, T4: 50% RDF + Vermicompost, T5: 75% RDF + Vermicompost, T6: 50% RDF + Azotobacter + Vermicompost, T7: 75% RDF + Azotobacter + Vermicompost. Application of different levels of fertilizers in combination with organic manures and biofertilizers significantly increased the growth, yield and quality of capsicum. The maximum plant height, plant spread, days to 50 % flowering, days to first picking, harvest duration, average fruit weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, number of fruits per p...
Bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) plants have a high demand for water and nutrients and are particularly sensitive to water stress during the establishment period and fruit setting. High levels of irrigation are often applied in order to maximize yields. Water and temperature are critical for producing vegetable crops, especially during winter, when the availability of water is meager and temperature falls. Studies of drip irrigation and mulch were undertaken to find the effect on different growth and yield parameters in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Solan bharpur at Department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr. Y.S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during Kharif 2015. The treatment comprised with eight different levels of irrigations with polythylene mulches viz., T1 = Flood irrigation, T2 = 100% Evapotranspiration through drip irrigation, T3 = 80% Evapotranspiration through drip irrigation, T4 = 60% Evapotranspiration through drip irrigation, T5 = Flood irrigation + polyethylene mulch, T6 = 100% Evapotranspiration through drip irrigation + polyethylene mulch, T7 = 80% Evapotranspiration through drip irrigation + polyethylene mulch, T8= 60% Evapotranspiration through drip irrigation + polyethylene mulch. The observations were recorded on plant height (71.50 cm) at final harvest, days to ripe fruit harvest (102.41), harvest duration (58.00), number of branches per plant (8.20), ripe fruit weight (58.87 g), ripe fruit length (7.38 cm), ripe fruit width (5.83 cm), number of ripe fruits per plant (15.67). The treatment T6 was found superior over all other treatments in terms of plant and fruit growth characters, fruit growth characters.

during the period from October, 2018 to March, 2019. Two factors experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The experiment consisted four (4) levels of organic and inorganic fertilizers viz., F 1 (Vermicompost), F 2 (Recommended dose of NPKS), F 3 (50% Vermicompost + 50% Recommended dose of NPKS) and F 4 (75% Vermicompost + 25% Recommended dose of NPKS); and three mulch materials viz., M 0 (Control), M 1 (White polythene) and M 2 (Black polythene). Plot size was 1 m x 1 m. The growth and physio-morphological characters, yield attributes and yield were significantly influenced by different types of fertilizers application and mulching practices. F 4 treatment (75% Vermicompost + 25% Recommended dose of NPKS) produced maximum yield per hectare (40 t/ha) and F 1 (vermicompost) treatment produced minimum yield per hectare (23.07 t/ha). Fruit yield increased 12.49%, 20.01% and 28.44% higher using F 4 , F 3 and F 2 , respectively compared to control treatment. Mulching material influenced fruit yield where the maximum yield per hectare (40 t/ha) were observed from the M 2 (Black polythene). Fruit yield (t/ha) recorded 27.06% and 27.50% higher in M 2 and M 1 , respectively compared to control. In case of combined treatment, the fresh weight of fruit and dry matter were found higher in M 2 F 4 and the lowest in M 0 F 1. The maximum yield per hectare (53.31 t/ha) was found in M 2 F 4 and M 2 F 4 treatment produce 201.75% higher yield (t/ha) compared to control treatment combination M 0 F 1 (17.67 t/ ha). The second and third highest was found from M 2 F 3 and M 1 F 4. The highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) was found in M 2 F 4 and it was 7.49. Black plastic mulch with combined fertilizer (vermicompost and chemical fertilizer) gives higher plant height, yield, dry matter and other yield contributing parameters. Control treatment (no mulch) with only vermicompost gives lowest result in all cases.
