EFFECT OF TRANSPLANTING DATE AND MICRONUTRIENT FOR QUALITY AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION OF CAPSICUM VARIETIES UNDER PROTECTED CONDITION
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 15
Abstract
The present experiment was carried out at the field of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia (West Bengal) during the year 2013-14 and 2014-15 to study the effect of transplanting dates and micronutrient complex application on yield and quality of capsicum varieties under protected condition. The experiment was laid out in Three Factor Complete Randomized Design with three replications. The highest fruit yield was obtained from transplanting on 17th November for variety Arya with micronutrient application (134.64 t/ha) and it was lowest for variety Ayesha with transplanting on 7th December without micronutrient application (79.19 t/ha) for both the year. Whereas, significantly higher total soluble solid content was obtained with 27th October transplanting of variety Arya with micronutrient application (5.230Brix) and highest β-carotene content (371.17 mg/100 g) of fruit was recorded for variety Ayesha for the same transplanting date and micronutrient complex application.
