Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Cow dung slurry and electrical
conductivity
Treatments considered two factors, viz., four types of cow dung slurry
: 100ml
cow dung slurry; C
2
: 200 ml cow dung slurry; C
3
: 300 ml cow dung slurry and C
:
400 ml cow dung slurry) and four different electrical conductivity
:
3.0 ds/m; E
3
: 3.5 ds/m and E
4.0 ds/m
4:
growth and yield contributing characters; yield per plant and physiological traits in
fruits. In case of cow dung slurry application the highest plant height
but statistically similar results were found in case of growth and
yield in C

while the lowest in C

: 2.5ds/m; E
. In case of EC value of nutrient solution the highest
plant height
but statistically similar results were found in
case of growth and yield in E

2
while the lowest in E
1
. In case of physiological traits
viz. leaf area, leaf mass ratio, net assimilation ratio and relative growth rate were found
highest in C
4
while the lowest in C
and considering different EC values highest was in
E
2
and lowest was in E
1
1
. The highest result was recorded from the treatment combination
C
4
E
2
and the lowest was from C

E
1.
Therefore, it can be concluded that
400 ml of cow dung slurry and 3.0 ds/m EC of nutrient solution can be used for
producing higher yield and quality of capsicum in hydroponic system.
