Abstract
Three levels of nitrogen viz. 80, 100 and 120
kg per hectare alongwith a common dose of 80
and 40 kg per hectare of P20
5 and K2
0, respectively were tested with sweet pepper cultlvar 'California
Wonder'. Nitrogen fertilization increased plant
height, number of branches, number of fruit per
plant, total fruit weight per plant and fruit yiel?
per hectare. The maximum yield of 59.25 t ha
was obtained with the _application of nitrogen at
the rate of l_iO kg ha • This yield was higher
by 24.05 -1 ha than the control, which averaged
35.20 t ha •
