Online published on 30 November, 2019. Abstract The field experiment, carried out at Agriculture Research Station, Awashi, Khed, Dr. B.S. Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli during 2012 to 2016 for assessing the comparative growth and yield performance of bush pepper cuttings and grafts under shade condition and pepper in open plantation, revealed that the growth and yield of bush pepper cuttings planted at 1.0 m x 1.0 m. spacing in 50 per cent green shade net condition was significantly superior over the bush pepper grafts under 50 per cent green shade net condition and black pepper under open plantation. It being an eco-friendly farming practice can be performed as backyard crops with judicious use of manures. Top Keywords Bush pepper cutting, shadenet, grafts, growth, yield. Top |
