Abstract
An experiment was
conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to determine the response of nylon net,
kaolin and plant growth regulator 4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA)
on growth and yield of capsicum. The experiment consisted of two
factors: Factor A: Use of nylon net and kaolin as P0: Open Condition
(control); P1: Kaolin Spray; P2: Nylon net condition; P3: Use of
nylon net + kaolin and Factor B: Application of 4-CPA as H0: Control
(water spray), H1: 4-Chloro Phenoxy Acetic Acid (4-CPA) @ 4000 ppm.
Two factorial experiments were laid out in a Randomized Complete
Block Design with four replications. In case of nylon net and kaolin,
the maximum yield (48.06 t/ha) was attained from P3, while the
minimum yield (18.58 t/ha) from P0. For plant growth regulator 4-CPA,
the highest yield (34.80 t/ha) was recorded from H1, whereas the
lowest (29.20 t/ha) from H0. Due to the interaction effect of nylon
net, kaolin and 4-CPA, the highest yield (50.55 t/ha) was found from
P3H1, while the lowest yield (16.89 t/ha) from P0H0.
