Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is grown extensively throughout the world especially in temperate countries. Poor fruit-set as well as loss of reproductive structures due to moisture stress is one of the major barriers to tropical adaptation of bell pepper. Hence the objective of the present study was to examine the effect of various concentration of nitrobenzene (flowering stimulant and yield booster) on bell pepper yield. The study was conducted at a farmer poly tunnel located in Pilimathalawa (WU1), Sri Lanka. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomize Design (CRD) with four treatments randomized in three replicates. The treatments were T1 – Control (with out Nitrobenzene), T2 – Nitrobenzene 15%, T3 – Nitrobenzene 20%, T4 – Nitrobenzene 25%. Plants were established in drip-fertigated bags in the Poly tunnel and standard crop management practices .. View More»
