EFFECT OF GROWING CONDITIONS AND SEED TREATMENT ON THE GROWTH AND DISEASE REACTION OF CAPSICUM (Pages : 13 - 20)

A pot experiment was conducted to find out the best growing conditions for production of healthy capsicum fruit at the Bangladesh Agricultural University campus. Seeds were treated prior to sowing with skimmed milk suspension at 1:4 dilutions and garlic extract at 1:2 dilutions to get rid of seed borne pathogens. One seedling was placed in a single pot. The pots were placed in different places viz. open roof, green house, net house and open space. The net house condition was found to be the best in preventing disease intensity and severity as well as in healthy capsicum fruit production. Seed treated with garlic extract was found to be the better. Treatment combination “net house × garlic treatment” gave comparatively the better result amongst all other combinations in terms of yield contributing characters, disease severity and fruit yield.Download
