Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during October 2012 to April 2013. Capsicum
cultivar “Lamuyo” was used as experimental materials. The experiment consisted
of two factors: Factor A: Shoot pruning
0
: No pruning and P
:
Shoot pruning and Factor B: Foliar applications of micronutrients
0

: Mixed micronutrients @ 100 ppm each. The experiment
was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design
, while minimum fruit setting

. Therefore, shoot pruning and mixed micronutrients showed best
potentiality for bell pepper cultivation.
