Description An experiment was carried out to study the effect of planting geometry and number of
shoots on quality and yield of capsicum cv. Orobelle under two growing environments viz.,
naturally ventilated polyhouse and shadehouse during summer of 2007 at Hi-Tech
Horticulture Unit, Department of Horticulture, UAS, Dharwad.
There were three spacings viz., 45 × 30 cm (4.4 plants/m2), 45 × 45 cm (2.94
plants/m2) and 45 × 60 cm (2.22 plants/m2) and three levels of number of shoots per plant
viz., two shoots, three shoots and four shoots. The experiment was laid out in three factor
strip plot design with three replications.
The results revealed that the quality parameters like fruit length (8.50 cm), fruit
breadth (8.16 cm), fruit weight (147.74 g), fruit volume (268.85 cc), shelf life (8.93 days)
pericarp thickness (0.72 cm), and the yield parameters like number of fruits per plant (23.44),
fruit yield (6.49 kg/m2) and fruit yield (64.91 t/ha) was significantly higher under polyhouse
than shadehouse.
Among the different spacings tried, the maximum spacing 45 × 60 cm recorded
significantly higher fruit length (8.62 cm), fruit breadth (8.34 cm), fruit weight (150.17 g),
fruit volume (276.78 cc), shelf life (9.09 days), pericarp thickness (0.72 cm), number of fruits
(22.96/plant) and fruit yield (2.15 kg/plant).The maximum fruit yield (73.26 t/ha) was
recorded under spacing 45 × 30 cm.
With regards to the number of shoots per plant, the treatment two shoots per plant
recorded significantly higher fruit length (8.56 cm), fruit breadth (8.38 cm), fruit weight
(149.06 g) fruit volume (273.28 cc), pericarp thickness (0.77 cm) and shelf life (9.11 days).
Whereas retaining four shoots per plant recorded significantly higher number of fruits
(25.19/plant), fruit yield (2.20 kg/plant), and fruit yield (67.84 t/ha).
