TRANSCRIPT
Economics on Greenhouse production of Capsicum
Colour Capsicum ( Capsicum annuum)
The genus Capsicum belongs to the family Solanaceae. Bell pepper has attained a status of high value crop in India in
recent years and occupies a pride of place among vegetables in Indian cuisine because of its delicacy and pleasant flavour coupled with rich content of ascorbic acid and other vitamins and minerals.
Soil and climate- It can be grown in many types of soils but well drained loamy
soils rich in lime yields more.- Crop is very sensitive to cold. 15 to 35 C is suitable

Crop cycle

Stage Duration
Nursery 30 Days
Planting to First flower 25 days after Trans planting.
First flower to first picking 60 to 70 days after the flowering.
Harvesting period 5 to 6 months
Nursery and Selection of Verities
- Unless you are experienced in growing seedlings, it is better to purchase the seedling from the reputed nursery.
- Around 12000 seedlings/Acr.
- Select the variety suitable to the season, good yielding and better shape, suitable to the Green house production.

Land preparation and Planting- MB ploughing fallowed by cultivation.
- Application of compost, Neemcake, basal dose of fertilizer and biological.
- Rotavation , bed making, mulching, marking and trans planting.
- Spacing 1.5m Furrow to furrow, row to row is 50cm and plant to plant 40 to 45cm.
5
Pinching and Pruning
- Pinching operation was carried out at one month after transplanting according to different methods like two shoot or three shoot system.
Irrigation
- Approximately 80 per cent of water used by capsicums is extracted from the upper 30 cm of soil. Dry down of the 30-60 cm zone is an indicator of stress in capsicums and leads to small fruit, poor fruit set and blossom end rot.
