CAPSICUM CULTIVATION

Introduction: Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy. Unfortunately, even after several attempts and decades of planning, agriculture sector has remained far from achieving it’s due share of accolades. Our farmers remain poor primarily due to lack of access to modern technology, implements, inputs and credit. Government schemes are available, but the poor farmers lack the intellect and the knowledge to access such schemes.

Product Description: Pepper is commonly referred to as capsicum is a vegetable from a flowering plant native to America. This vegetable has many names depending on the place and type such as chilli pepper, green pepper, red pepper, paprika, and bell pepper, etc. The capsicum plant is a perennial plant, which is being cultivated all round the world. The cultivation of capsicum in the greenhouse or polyhouse is done using indeterminate cultivars that keep producing continuously and the plant keeps developing from new meristems. The height of the capsicum plant is different for different varieties, but the average height ranges from 30 to 90 cm. The leaves of the plant are oval in shape and bright green in colour. The size of the leaf is proportional to the size of the fruit. It is considered that plants producing small peppers or capsicum have small leaves. The roots of the plant are shallow and may extend up to 20 or 30 cm deep under the soil. The flowers of the plant are star shaped and white in colour. The fruit has different shapes like round, oblong or tapered. The skin of the fruit is smooth and shiny. They are available in many colours like red, yellow, purple and green. Generally, pepper or capsicum is green under immature conditions, but turns red upon ripening. The newly introduced cultivars have fruits that are of different colour both under mature and immature conditions. The vegetable or fruit contains many white seeds, which give the spicy taste to it.
