Influence of Spacing and Different Levels of Fertilizers on Flowering and Economics of Bell Pepper under Shade Net Conditions

Bell pepper is one of the highly remunerative vegetables cultivated in most parts of the world. Obtaining higher economics, it is necessary to get the higher productivity by optimum spacing and suitable level of fertilizer. Therefore an experiment was conducted to find out the influence of spacing and different levels of fertilizers on flowering and economics of bell pepper under shade net conditions. The spacing S₃ (30 × 30 cm) recorded significant yield with fertilizer dose F₆ (RDF + FYM). This influenced the maximum benefit cost of 2.81. Minimum economics was noticed in spacing S₁ at F₃ was 1.66. Among various spacing treatments early and 50 per cent flowering was observed in closer spacing S₃ (30 × 30 cm) (31.59 days and 36.69 days, respectively).
