Abstract:
The study was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October 2017 to
February 2018 to determine the effect of Ca and NAA on the growth, yield and
quality of hot pepper variety BARI morich-3. The experiment consisted of two
factors. NAA (3 levels) as N
0
= 0 ppm, NAA (Control), N
= 25 ppm NAA and
N
2
= 50 ppm NAA; and Ca application (3 levels) as Ca
0
1
= 0 ppm Ca (Control),
Ca
1
= 50 ppm Ca and Ca
= 100 ppm Ca. Different levels of NAA, Ca and their
combination showed significant variation among the treatments. Results
revealed that the in terms of yield and yield contributing parameters, the
treatment combination of N
2
2
Ca
gave the highest fruit length (7.18 cm), fruit
diameter (0.63 cm), highest number of fruits plant
1
-1
(473.80), and fruit yield
(33.55 t ha
-1
) where the lowest fruit length (5.88 cm), fruit diameter (0.37 cm),
number of fruits plant
-1
(260.40), and fruit yield (15.52 t ha
-1
) was observed
from the treatment combination of N
0
Ca
. In terms of quality parameters, the
highest Vitamin C content (171.28 mg/100 gram of green fruit) was observed
from the treatment combination of N
2
Ca
1
0
where the lowest (72.84 mg/100 gram
of fruit) was observed from the treatment combination of N
. From
economic point of view the highest BCR (4.35) was obtained from the
treatment combination of N
2
Ca
and lowest BCR (2.14) was obtained from
N
0
Ca
