ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted at Nagarjuna Medicinal Plant Garden, Dr. PDKV, Akola during November 2010 to May 2010 in the structure of 50 per cent green and 50 per cent green with white strip. Considering the importance of vegetable crop capsicum crop was selected for this study. The crop was manually transplanted on 10th January 2010, before transplanting soil was tilt manually and capsicum transplanted directly into the structure. The temperature in green shade net recorded lower than the temperature in green shade net with white strip. The relative humidity, CO concentration were 2
more in green shade net than green shade net with white strip and light intensity was lower in green shade net as compare to green shade net with white strip. The insect attack was observed at initial stage in the month of February which was controlled by spraying pesticides i.e. dimethoate at 0.05 per cent. The height of plant, number of leaves and branches recorded more in green shade net as compare to green shade net with white strip. It has been observed that the micro climatic condition in the 50 per cent green shade net house was favorable for crop “capsicum” as compare to 50 per cent green shade net with white strip.
Key words :
Capsicum, colur shade net, protected cultivation, shade net house.
