Yield And Quality Evaluation Of Capsicum Genotype Under Mesh Net (Umn) And Open Field At Organically Managed Soil In Bangladesh

Summary

The study has been carried out at organically converted field under olericulture division of HRC, BARI Gazipur during November 2017 to March 2018 to find out suitable genotypes in terms of horticultural traits and nutritional quality along with growing methods. The two factor experiment was set in a split design where net protection was under main plot and eight capsicum genotypes including 2 released varieties were grown in the sub plot with three replication. Number of fruits per plant varied significantly and the highest number of fruits were yielded by CA0034-3 (17) followed by CA 0036 (16) and CA 0034 (15) under net condition. The lowest numbers of fruits were produced by genotypes BARI mistimorich 1 (6) at UMN. Single fruit wt also differed significantly among the genotypes and also had influenced by net. BARI mistimorich 1 and 2 produced the weightiest fruits (124 and 112 g) at UMN while the same varieties produced the lightest fruits (81.2 and 51.8 g) UMN is a good technology to produce capsicum. BARI mistimorich 1 and 2 are the two varieties released by BARI for conventional farming. In this study it was concluded that the released variety showed good growth along with other genotypes CA 0031 and CA0036 in terms of lycopene and β carotene content.
