Capsicum:
| Suitability of the variety for the Area Agro Climatic Zone | All India |
| Selection of the field/land preparation practices | Field should be well prepared free from weeds and well drainage facility. 1-2 deep ploughing, Soil should be exposed to sunlight, 3 to 4 rounds of harrows to reach fine tilt. Before final harrow, apply 8 to 10 MT well decomposed FYM/acre along with 250 gm Trichoderma for controlling soil born fungus |
| Seed Treatment-rate of timing/ chemical | Seeds are treated with Carbendazim 2g + Thiram 2 g per Kg of seeds. |
| Sowing Time | Summer, Rabi, Kharif |
| Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing | Seed Rate: 250 – 300 g per acre.
Sowing: Direct in main field Spacing: Row to Row and Plant to Plant – 150 x 45 cm |
| Fertilizer dose with timing | Total N:P:K requirement @ 80:100:120 kg per acre.
Dose & Timing: Basal Dose: Apply 50% N and 100% P, K as basal dose during final land preparation. Top Dressing: 25% N at 30 days after sowing and 25% N at 50 days after sowing |
| Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing | Timely weed removal is very important, need based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop. |
| Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing | Far effective crop control use following Insect and disease solution Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose – Apply Amistar (200ml/acre), Fruit rot – Apply Kavach @ 400g/acre and for any other diseases apply fungicide as per recommendation from the Department of Agriculture (plant protection)
White Fly + Mites – Apply Pegasus @ 250g/acre Spodetara+ Fruit Borer –Apply Cigna @ 250 ml/acre Fruit Borer – Apply Proclaim @ 80g/acre and for any other Insects apply recommended Insecticides
|
| Irrigation Schedule | Irrigation Frequency Depends upon –
A.Soil type: Light soils need more frequency. Heavy soil needs less frequency. B.Crop Stage: Vegetative stage: maintain adequate moisture for development of roots. Flowering & fruiting – frequent and shallow irrigation. Harvesting – gradually reduce irrigation during harvesting Growing season: Summer – requires frequent irrigation. Winter-As against summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer. Rainy-very less frequency depending up on soil moisture |
| Harvesting | Full mature firm green fruits starts harvesting at 60-70 days, later at 5 to 7 days intervals. Timely picking stimulates plant to produce more flowers |
| Expected Yield of the variety | Average yield: 12 MT/acre (depending on season and cultural practice) |
