|
The objective of this experiment was to find out the effect of strength of nutrient solution, seedling age, and container size on seedling quality and fruit yield of colored bell pepper ´Spirit´. Seedlings were raised under a factorial experiment of 3 solution strengths (84, 112, and 140 ㎎·L^(-1) N) and 4 seedling ages (40, 50, 60, and 70 days), and in 3 container sizes (70, 200, and 270 mL). Seedlings were transplanted and cultivated in perlite medium with the hot pepper-special nutrient solution (N-P-K-Ca-Mg=12-3-7-4-2 me·L^(-1)). Seedling growth was greater with increasing age and solution strength. Root growth and number of branches were not affected by treatment. Plant height, dry weight, and number of branches at a month after transplanting increased with seedling age and solution strength. Yield in the first month after harvesting increased with seedling age, but that in the second month was not different between treatments. Growth and T/R ratio of seedling, and yield in the first month after harvesting increased with container size, and yield in the second month was not affected by container size.
