Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to determine the response of nylon
net, kaolin and plant growth regulator 4-CPA on growth and yield of capsicum.
The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Use of nylon net and kaolin
as P
0
: Open Condition (control); P
1
: Kaolin Spray; P
ii
2
: Nylon net condition; P
:
Use of nylon net + kaolin and Factor B: Application of 4-CPA as H
: Control
(water spray), H
: 4-Chloro Phenoxy Acetic Acid (4-CPA) @ 4000 ppm. Two
factorial experiments were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design
with four replications. In case of nylon net and kaolin, the maximum yield
(48.06 t/ha) was attained from P
1
, while the minimum yield (18.58 t/ha) from
P
0
3
. For plant growth regulator 4-CPA, the highest yield (34.80 t/ha) was
recorded from H
1
, whereas the lowest (29.20 t/ha) from H
. Due to the
interaction effect of nylon net, kaolin and 4-CPA, the highest yield (50.55 t/ha)
was found from P
3
H
1
, while the lowest yield (16.89 t/ha) from P
combination with nylon net, kaolin and 4-CPA was found best for growth and
yield of bell pepper.
