Author(s): Bijeta, Kuldeep Thakur and Archana Sharma
Abstract: An experiment was conducted during 2015 and 2016 at vegetable farm Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni to study the effect of growing media and plant spacing on soil and plant nutrients under protected cultivation in sweet pepper. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (Factorial) under polyhouse with 12 treatment combinations. On the basis results summarised as that the M4 treatment (Soil + Cocopeat + Vermicompost + FYM (2:1:0.5:0.5)) significantly increase the available N, P, K with average value of 351.47, 54.76 and 482.46 kg/ha which was statistically at par with M3. Similarily, total plant nutrient content was highest under M4 (3.24 % N, 0.36 % P and 3.31 % K) which was statistically at par with M3. Plant spacing and interaction did not showed significant effect on available N, P, K content of soil and total N, P, K content in plant.
