dc.descriptionThe experiment entitled “Effect of Spacing and Nutrient Management on King Chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) grown under Protected Condition” was carried out during the year 2017-2018 under polyhouse at College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. Nine treatments with two factors (spacing and Nutrient) i.e. 3 spacing levels S1 (60 cm x 60 cm), S2 (60 cm x 75 cm), S3 (60 cm x 90 cm) and 3 nutrient levels N1 (90:45:45 kg NPK/ha + 20 t FYM/ha), N2 (120:60:60 kg NPK/ha +15 t FYM/ha) and N3 (150:75:75 kg NPK/ha + 10 t FYM/ha) were arranged in factorial RBD design, in order to study the effect of various spacing and nutrient level on growth, yield and quality of king chilli under protected condition.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe experiment entitled “Effect of Spacing and Nutrient Management on King Chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) grown under Protected Condition” was carried out during the year 2017-2018 under polyhouse at College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. Nine treatments with two factors (spacing and Nutrient) i.e. 3 spacing levels S1 (60 cm x 60 cm), S2 (60 cm x 75 cm), S3 (60 cm x 90 cm) and 3 nutrient levels N1 (90:45:45 kg NPK/ha + 20 t FYM/ha), N2 (120:60:60 kg NPK/ha +15 t FYM/ha) and N3 (150:75:75 kg NPK/ha + 10 t FYM/ha) were arranged in factorial RBD design, in order to study the effect of various spacing and nutrient level on growth, yield and quality of king chilli under protected condition. The plants grown in lowest spacing level S1 obtained the maximum plant height (205.73 cm), highest number of leaves/plant (1125.29), least number of days to flower initiation and fruiting, longest fruit length (73.16 mm), fruit girth (106.11 mm) and fruit weight (8.25 g). While the highest number of fruit/plant (175.72), fruit yield/plant (1.35 kg), Ascorbic acid (84.88 mg/100g) and capsaicin content (2.95%) were obtained from those plants grown in widest spacing level S3. The nutrient level N3 resulted highest plant growth parameters, fruit weight (8.52 g), number of fruits/plant (142.53), fruit yield/plant (1.13 kg), Ascorbic acid (80.24 mg/100g) and capsaicin content (3.02%). Thus, among the various treatment, the highest plant height and number of leaves was obtained in T3 and the least number of days required to first flowering and fruiting, 50% flowering and fruiting days to red ripe maturity, maximum fruit length and girth was obtained in T1. While maximum number of fruits 185.13/plant, fruit yield 1.45 kg/plant and quality parameters such as 88.53 mg/100g vitamin-C, capsaicin 3.11% and dry matter content of 10.29% with highest benefit cost ratio of 2.59 was obtained from T9 i.e. 60 cm x 90 cm + 150:75:75 kg NPK/ha + 10 t FYM/ha.en_US
