This crop is a cold season crop, but capsicum cultivated through the year using polyhouse.
Capsicum is a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin C and mineral calcium (13.4 mg),
magnesium (14.9 mg) of phosphorus (28.3 mg) of potassium (263.7 mg) per 100 grams of
fresh capsicum fruit weight.

Soil texture required for capsicum cultivation
Selection of soil is an important decision. soil selection for capsicum cultivation following
point should be considered:
2/7
plant to plant distance 45 to 50 cm
row to row distance 50 cm
After plantation, maintain moisture 80-90% For the protection of plants, from 2 to 3 weeks.
Capsicum plants are cut to maintain four stems. The tip of the plant is divided into two on
the 5 or 6 nodes and left to grow. These two branches have again increased in two
branches.
The tip on each node is divided by giving a strong branch and one weak branch. Pruning is
done after 30 days at an interval of 8 to 10 days, resulting in bigger fruits with better quality
and higher productivity.
Capsicum plants can also be harvested for two stems, and the same level of yield can be
maintained.
Irrigation
To reduce the pH of water, add the acid in the water tank, then use water for irrigation and
sprinkling.
1. Immediately after plantation, irrigation required to start the first shower is required to
use after some days drip irrigation use this will help for uniform root development of

a plant,
2. Usually, a dripper per plant is required. Depending on the season, drip irrigation is
given to provide 2-4 liters of water per square meter. In hot summer, a fogger can be
used to maintain the air humidity.
3. Inspect the soil column for irrigation and visually check the soil moisture content.
After this, determine the amount of irrigation required
4. During the summer season, apply water to the edges of the bed repeatedly by using
the shower to reduce the loss of evaporator. For this purpose, provision for water
outlet (1 “diameter pipe) inside the Greenhouse should be made.
5. Always pour the plant water from noon.
6. Relative humidity of air should not be more than 90 – 92 percent because it is
inclined to disturb the fruit.
7. Always use fresh water for irrigation. Do not store water for 4 to 5 days.
If the pH of plain water is used then on the higher side, then using acids, make it 6 to 6.5. It
should be added to water at least 12 hours before using it.
Fertilizers are required to maintain EC’s EC with the recommended amount of water.
Therefore, operate the drip system for the prescribed period. After every seven days, Open
Flash valves clean the fertigation system from time to time
Harvesting of Capsicum
Harvesting of capsicum fruit start after 80-90 days from transplanting; best time for
harvesting is in the morning. Fruits can be cut once in 3 to 4 days. Yellow and red fruits
can be harvested when they receive 50-80 percent of the color development

Disease/ pest in capsicum
Aphids:
nymph and adult suck sap from the plant leaves, resulting in the decreased yield and plant
growth.
Thrips:
Thrips cause upper curling of leaves, sucks, and sap from leaf due to which The decrease
in the size of the foliage, fruits, and plants, production of fruits reduce and reduce the
market value of production.
Whitefly
Fruit Borer:
Fruit borers are very active during the night. They damage
fruit & decrease the quality of production
nematode:
Disease
Damping off:
The transition occurs from the young plants above the ground level, which leads to disease
of seeds and later to die. Planting may occur due to any damage during transplantation.
Powdery mildew:
The disease initially appears on the surface of the leaves as yellowish brown spots and
powder-like material on the lower surface, thereby increasing the powder, which covers the
entire surface of the lower surface, which can be dried and dried in later stages drop-offs.
This disease reduces the development of leaves and fruits, thereby reducing the quality and
quality of production.
Elegantly appears on the surface of the leaves as a yellowish yellow color, which contains
sharp dark brown spots, which spread on the entire leaf, resulting in leaves falling.
Phytophthora
Transfer through Aphids due to which leads to the production and quality products
Transmission via thrips, Damage: Fruit loss of plant and low production
