Effect of Two Doses of Mineral Fertilizer (12-12-20 and 46-0-0) on the Agronomic Performance of Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum, var. California Wonder) in the Communal Section of Gaillard, Commune of Cayes-Jacmel
- The experiment used a randomized complete block design with three blocks and 8 square meter plots.
- Fertilized plants averaged a yield of 2 tonnes per hectare.
- The unfertilized control yielded 0.706 tonnes per hectare.
- Fertilized plants averaged 4 fruits per plant of 31.63 grams, compared with 1.41 fruits of 14.05 grams for the control.
- The 625 kg and 417 kg treatments both gave a higher yield than the control.
The experiment used a randomized complete block design with three blocks and 8 square meter plots in Gaillard, Cayes-Jacmel, to analyze how bell pepper responds to two doses of mineral fertilizers (12-12-20 and 46-0-0). Stem diameter, plant height, days to flowering and maturity, branching, fruit size and weight, yield, and disease and pest incidence were measured, with analysis of variance at the 5 percent threshold.
Fertilized plants (625 kg and 417 kg doses) averaged a mean yield of 2 tonnes per hectare, 31.63 grams per fruit and 4 fruits per plant, compared with 0.706 tonnes per hectare, 14.05 grams and 1.41 fruits for the control. Both treatments gave a higher yield than the control.
