Effect of nitrogen fertilization and its application systems on vegetative growth and fruit yield of sweet pepper [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Two field experiments were conducted on sweet pepper plants (cv.California Wonder) during the consecutive summer seasons of 2006 and 2007. at EI-Qaten region,Hadramout Governorate. Yemen. The objective of these experiments was to determine the effects of nitrogen fertilization rates (60, 90 and 120 Kg fed⁻¹) and their application systems (three, four, five and six split doses), on vegetative growth, and fruit yield of sweet pepper. The obtained results indicated that increasing N applied rate was accompanied with significant increases in plant height , number of leaves, leaf area and dry mass plant ⁻¹ Moreover, higher yield potential (yield plant⁻¹, number of fruits plant⁻¹ and average fruit weight⁻¹) seemed to be associated with the application of 90 kg N fed⁻¹ .
