Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study has been carried out at organically converted field under olericulture division of HRC, BARI Gazipur during November 2017 to March 2018 to find out suitable genotypes in terms of horticultural traits and nutritional quality along with growing methods. The two-factor experiment was set in a split design where net protection was under main plot and eight capsicum genotypes including 2 released varieties were grown in the sub plot with three replication. The number of fruits per plant varied significantly and the highest number of fruits were yielded by CA0034-3 (17) followed by CA 0036 (16) and CA 0034 (15) under net condition. The lowest numbers of fruits were produced by genotypes BARI mistimorich 1 (6) at UMN. Single fruit wt also differed significantly among the genotypes and also had influenced by net. BARI mistimorich 1 and 2 produced the weightiest fruits (124 and 112 g) at UMN while the same varieties produced the lightest fruits (81.2 and 51.8 g) UMN is a good technology to produce capsicum. BARI mistimorich 1 and 2 are the two varieties released by BARI for conventional farming. In this study, it was concluded that the released variety showed good growth along with other genotypes CA 0031 and CA0036 in terms of lycopene and β carotene content.

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Capsicum, Land management

Objectives:

To find out suitable genotypes in terms of horticultural traits and nutritional quality along with growing methods.

Methodology:

The study has been carried out at organically converted field under olericulture division of HRC, BARI Gazipur from November 2017 to March 2018 to find out suitable genotypes in terms of horticultural traits and nutritional quality along with growing methods. The two-factor experiment was set in a split design where net protection was under the main plot and eight capsicum genotypes including 2 released varieties were grown in the subplot with three replication. Seedlings were raised in a 500 ml pots filled in standard organic media (50% of each well-decomposed cow dung and organic soil). The plot fertilized with organic input at the rate 15 t /ha well-decomposed cowdung. The half amounts of cow dung were applied during land preparation. After final preparation of land a 1.2 m wide and 18 m length bed was raised apart from 50 cm drain in between two beds. Fifty percent of the remaining half cowdung was incorporated in the bed. Then pits were dug with 50 x 50 cm distance and the remaining cow dung and 100 g of BAOFER fertilized each pit. Thirty-five days old seedlings were planted in each pit followed by microbial fertilizer contained water. Meshes net (60 mesh/ inch) were installed in the net protected treatment. Data were recorded on Plant height (cm), Days to 50% flowering (day), Crop duration, No. of fruits/plant, Single fruit wt. (g), Fruit length (cm), Fruit breadth (cm), °brix, Yield/plant (g). Color (L, a*, b*) was measure by using a Chroma meter (Cr 400, Minolta, Japan) and Lycopene and β- carotene were calculated according to (Tilahun et al, 2018). SPAD was measured by a SPAD 502 meter (Minolta, Japan). Data were analyzed by R 3.5.1 version (CRAN).

Achievement/Findings:

Capsicum is a high value crop in Bangladesh is getting popular among the city elite community. UMN is a good technology to produce capsicum. BARI mistimorich 1 and 2 are the two varieties released by BARI for conventional farming. In this study it was concluded that the released varieties showed good growth at organic condition along with other genotypes CA 0031 and CA0036 in terms of lycopene and β carotene content.
