  • They belong to the Solanaceae family and are perennial herbaceous plants.
  • It reaches a maximum height of 75 cm. It bears little white or purple flowers with white or purple petals.
  • Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Potassium are abundant in this fruit. 
  • Capsicum is a cool-season crop, but it may be grown year-round in covered structures with controlled temperature and relative humidity (RH).
REQUIREMENTS
  • Soil- Clayey to loamy soil.
  • pH- 6-7. 
  • Temperature- 21°-25°C.
  • Rainfall- 625-1500mm.
  • Climate- Capsicum is a cool-season crop.
IRRIGATION
  • Immediately after seeding, light irrigation is applied.
  • Irrigation every week or every ten days
  • Then, shortly after transplanting, the next irrigation is supplied, and then, if needed, later irrigation is administered.
  • Irrigation is required at regular intervals in dry and semi-arid zones.

 

FOR IRRIGATION :

Irrigate your field with Power Plant Bhoomi Power, Premium, and Root guard.

 

BHOOMI POWER

4KG/ACRE

Bhoomi Power

 POWER PLANT PREMIUM

1 LITRE/ ACRE   

ROOT GUARD

2 KG/ACRE

HOW TO USE IT?

Use Bhoomi power by following methods.

1. By broadcasting over the field.

2. Use in slurry.

3. Give it in cow dung.

4. you can also give it in dry soil.

Note: Repeat Bhoomi power and Root guard every 3 months.

CULTIVATION
  • On the raised beds, sow capsicum seedlings in two rows.
  • Capsicum planting can also be done on a raised bed with plastic mulch to conserve water and prevent weed growth.
  • Every day, water the seedlings with a rose can until they are fully established.
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY

DEFICIENCY OF NITROGEN

 

´Yellowing that starts at the tip and moves along the center of older leaves.
´Leaves are small, uniformly light green or yellowish.
´The bark is yellowish orange.

 DEFICIENCY OF SULFUR

 

´Sulphur deficiency resembles nitrogen deficiency, but at the top of the plant.
´The deficiency is first observed in the younger leaves.
´These turn pale green, while the petioles get a strong purple tint.
´The leaf tips can curl up.
