Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out during October, 2022 to March, 2023 in polyhouse, Research field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design (RBD), with seven treatments replicated thrice with growing media (FYM + cocopeat + vermicompost + perlite +sand) on variety (Indra). On capsicum the treatments were used to find out the most suitable growing media for quality and growth of the capsicum. The results of the experiment have revealed that application of treatment of T6 (cocopeat +vermicompost (1:1) has significantly increased the growth and yield parameters like plant height, number of branches, and yield parameters like days to first harvest, number of fruits per plant and maximum fruit yield. This study used to evaluate the effect of selected treatments on yield of capsicum. And the capsicum plants responded significantly to the growing media supply.
