Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted during year Kharif 2018 and Kharief 2019 at experimental field of Division of Vegetable Sciences, SKUAST-Kashmir to assess the response of growth, yield and quality of capsicum (capsicum frutescence L.) var Nishat-1 with intercropping of frenchbean under temperate conditions of Kashmir valley. It was found that intercropping of Frenchbean has improved various growth, yield and quality parameters of Capsicum. Pooled result of two years (Kharief-2018 and Kharief-2019) revealed that treatment T2 (1 line of French bean:2 lines of Capsicum) recorded maximum values of plant height (61.67 cm), no of secondary branches plant-1(7.94), plant spread (40.71cms), no. of fruit plant-1 (12.74), average fruit weight (80.91gms), fruit Length (7.35cm,), fruit diameter (7.33 cm),fruit yield plant-1(206.62 q ha-1), T.S.S Brix0 (4.91), vitamin C content (172.57 mg100-1g) and total chorophyll content (73.27 mg100-1g) where the values were significant in most of the parameters showing beneficial effect of intercrop.
