R. Zainal Abidin, . and Siti Aishah Hassan, . and Mohd Fauzi Ramlan, . Growth and yield of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) in response to mulching and potassium fertilization. pp. 113-117. ISSN 0126-6128
Abstract
Afield experiment was conducted to study the influence of levels of potassium fertilizer (0 66 and 132 kg ha1 ) and types of mulching (black plastic reflective plastic and coconut fronds) on growth and yield of chilli Plant height yield fruit number and dry weight of plant increased with increasing K levels and mulching. Yields were increased by 89 and 142 with K levels of66 and 132 kg ha1 respectively. Highest yield was obtained from plant grown under reflective plastic mulch. Nitrogen P K and Ca content in leaf tissues soil temperature and moisture under mulched conditions were higher than without mulch. There was a positive correlation between plant dry weight with soil temperature and moisture.
