Study on Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Gibberellic Acid on Growth and Quality of Capsicum (Capsicum Annum L.) cv. Indra under Shade Net Conditions

Abstract

The present investigation entitled ‘‘Study on naphthalene acetic acid and gibberellic acid on growth and yield of capsicum (Capsicum annum L.) cv. Indra under Shade net condition’’ was carried out at the vegetable research farm of the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (Deemed to-be University), Allahabad during the Rabi season of 2014 – 2015, the experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design having 9 treatments 3 replications. The experiment revealed that NAA @ 60 ppm increased plant height, early flowering, number of branches, plant spread, number of flower per plant, shelf life, TSS, With the above result it can be concluded that NAA @ 60 ppm is very much beneficial for the growth and quality of capsicum.
