Production of sweet pepper under different protective structures

O
ne sweet pepper variety was evaluated under different
low height (1.0 m) protective structures including
fine net (120 mesh)+polytunnel, fine net, coarse net (40
mesh)+polytunnel, coarse net, only polytunnel and open field
condition. Protective structures had the significant influence
on growth and yield of sweet pepper. The highest number of
fruits per plant was recorded (11.35) from the plants grown
under fine net+polytunnel protected system followed by
coarse net+polytunnel protected system (9.77) while it was
the lowest for open condition (4.63). The fruit yield per plant
was also the highest (1.117 kg/plant) when the crops grown
under fine net+polytunnel protection followed by the plants
grown under coarse net+ polytunnel protection (0.902 kg/
plant). Yield of sweet pepper under protected condition was
much higher compared to that of plants grown under open
field condition (0.268 kg/plant). Protective structures provide
congenial atmospheric condition and protected the plants
from pest attack, cold injury during winter which enhance
proper growth and development. For on farm adaptive trial
the same variety was evaluated under net+ polythene, only
net covering and open field condition at seventeen farmer’s
field during winter season of 2014. Results revealed that
the average number of fruits/plant (9.3) and individual fruit
weight (87.7 g) were the maximum when the crop grown
under the protective structure of net+polytunnel while both
of these were the minimum for open field condition. The fruit
yield/plant was recorded the highest from net+polytunnel
(826.4 g) while it was the lowest for open condition (333.3 g).
