Presentation Transcript

  1. COLOUR CAPSICUM

  2. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY Seed Germination – 24-25°C Plant Growth - 30-15°C Flowering - 21-20°C Fruit Setting - 30-15°C Humidity Ranges - 50% to 80%

  3. CAPSICUM • Bed Preparation • Top width – 90cm. • Path width – 50 cm • Height – 40 cm

  4. BED PREPARATION IN CAPSICUM

  5. VARIETIES Popular varieties in Indian conditions • Red :- Bombii, Union(Imported) • Yellow:- Orabella • Orange:- Boxer • Green- Indra ( this variety grow in open as well as shade-net house cultivation)

  6. PLANTING MATERIAL • Diseases free seedling of four to five weeks of age are used for transplanting, • Height of Seedling- 16cm are used for transplanting

  7. PLANTING • Planting Distance: 1) 45-50 cm between two plants 2) 50 cm between two rows

  8. ROOT GALL DIPPING

  9. Crop Support Pinching /Topping Pruning Training: 1. Two-leader system 2. Four-leader system Fruit Pruning Harvesting Yield Post Harvest Tech. CULTURAL PRACTICES IN CAPSICUM

  10. DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY • Humidity at night > 80% Fruit Cracking • Low humidity, high temp. Blossom End Rot • Excess sunlight Fruit burn • Lack of sunlight Poor color, small size • B.Bee pollination Increase fruit size

  11. CROP SUPPORT • 3 overhead support wires are required for one bed • Overhead support wires ( 12 gauge) • At least 3 to 3.5 m above the surface of beds • Four numbers plastic twines (thread) are hung from top for each plant. • Plastic twine, loosely anchored around the base of the plants (non slip loop) at one end

  12. Topping means to remove the growing point of the plants, leaving 4-6 leaves below the stem. Topping should be done 21 days after planting  Topping should be done with the help of secature or thumps TOPPING

  13. TRAINING • Two-Leader system: After the pruning (pinching) plant is splitting into two main shoots, these two shoots shall be maintained as two leaders.

  14. TWO-LEADER SYSTEM Two leader or branches maintain per plant

  15. FOUR LEADER SYSTEM • The crown bud of the plant is topped leaving 5 or 6 leaves below the stem, 21 days after planting. • Four strong shoots are growing from the axils of lower leaves. These four shoots shall be maintained as four leaders.

  16. FOUR-LEADER SYSTEM Four leader or branches maintain per plant

  17. FRUIT PRUNING • Too many fruits on the plant at one time it is necessary to remove some fruits, • Thinning to 4-6 fruit on the first flush (2-3 fruits per shoot) will increase the size and result in higher total yield. • After the first flush, thinning should be limited to the removal of misshapen fruits.

  18. HARVESTING • Harvesting in capsicum starts after 75-90 days. • Harvesting should be done with the help of sharp knife. • Yield: Expected yield of capsicum is 8-10 kg per square meter.

  19. GRADING • Domestic market: Grading according to fruit weight A. 200-250gm B. 150-200gm C. <140gm

  20. GRADING Export Market: Grading according to Fruit Diameter Size Grade (Fruit diameter in mm) • >80 mm Extra Large • 70 - 79 mm Large • 60 - 69 mm Medium • 50 - 59 mm Chopper
