Deficiencies of nitrogen, calcium, and micronutrients are the most limiting factors for growth and yield of smell pepper plants

Cultivation and commercialization of Capsicum pepper have great importance in Brazil. This work assessed the influence omission macro micronutrients on growth mineral nutrition sweet plants (Capsicum chinense Jacquin). The research was carried out a greenhouse with washed sand as substrate. experimental design completely randomized five replications eight treatments: complete (control), N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, (B, Cu, Fe, Mn Zn). were submitted to treatments when they reached an average height 20 cm nutrient solution supplied by percolation plastic pots renewed every 15 days. Nutrients affected negatively plant whole. greatly reduced yield. C. presented sequence dry matter production shoots roots descending order: COMP > OP OS OK Omg ON Oca OMicro.
