Bio-Fertilizers Reduced the Need for Mineral Fertilizers in Soilless-Grown Capia Pepper

Soilless cultivation is extensively used in the greenhouse industry. Recently, hydroponic of capia pepper has become popular among growers. Capia harvested at red maturity stage, and intensive mineral fertilizers are usually for soilless cultivation. This study was performed a during spring under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The effects bacteria mycorrhiza on plant growth, yield, fruit quality, nutrition were investigated. Furthermore, synergistic these two bio-fertilizers Our objective to replace 20% with culture system. use 80% fertilizers, combination bacteria, provided 32.4% higher yield than control (100% fertilizer without bio-fertilizers). Moreover, concentrations N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu leaves plants fed reduced combined that control. In addition, parameters, such as weight, diameter, volume, electric conductivity juice, total soluble solids, significantly this treatment compared Using only 24.2% conclusion, successfully by using mycorrhiza. These results provide an eco-friendly approach sustainable environment.
