ABSTRACT
The experiment was counducted with 'California Wonder' bell pepper during summer season of 2001. The fifteen treatment combinations comprised 3 cultures of Azotobacter i.e. A0 (No Azotobacter), A1 (Azotobacter),A2 (Natrin). The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) having three replictions in a plot size of 2.40x2.25 m. Seedlings were spaced at 60x45 cm. The observations recorded on plant height, days to first picking number of branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant, and per hectare, seed yield per plot and seed yield per hectare. It was concluded that an application of 100kg N/ha in combination with Natrin was suitable for getting high and good quality seed of bell pepper.
Key words :
Azotobacter, bell pepper, Capsicum annuum, nitrogen, seed production.
