Effect of Transplanting Date on Growth and Yield of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under Open and Net House Environment at Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal

Sweet pepper, though a highly remunerative vegetable, environmental variability and inappropriate transplanting date have resulted low yield in Terai. Hence, to identify the suitable under open net house environment, field research was conducted at Agriculture Forestry University, Rampur, Nepal, from October 2018 May 2019. A split-plot design used with two factors three replications. Main-factor comprised of growing environments (open house) sub-factor dates (October 15, November 4, 24 December 14).The plant height (94.38 cm), leaf area (91.24 cm2), spread (55.22 cm) as well fruit quality parameters like length (8.72 girth (7.32 weight (63.07 g) pericarp thickness (6.85 mm) were significantly higher while these lower field. Significantly greater marketable observed (20.08 t/ha) than (16.29 t/ha).The growth best early 15) least 14. Interactive effect revealed that 15 inside performed terms (33.31 (33.17 t/ha), poorest performance recorded on 14 3.96 t/ha 3.48 t/ha. Therefore, helps maximize sweet pepper better size fruits.
