Effect of phosphorus, Zinc and Mycorrhizae application on growth and nutrient uptake in capsicum under protected conditions


Author(s): Gitika Bhardwaj, Uday Sharma, Perminder Singh Brar and Rajesh Kaushal

Abstract: The present pot culture experiment was conducted to see the effect of Phosphorus, Zinc and Mycorrhizae on capsicum in net house, Department of Soil Science and Water Management, Dr YSPUHF Nauni-Solan during the year 2016. The experiment consists of twenty four treatment combinations with four levels of phosphorus (PA, PB, PC and PD) equivalent to 0, 237.5, 355.5 and 475 kg ha-1 Single Super Phosphate, three levels of Zinc (ZnA, ZnB and ZnC) equivalent to 5, 7.5 and 10 kg ha-1 Zinc Sulphate and two levels of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation (IA and IB i.e. 0 and 15 g per pot). The results revealed that the plant height, root length, above ground nutrient total uptake as well as below ground nutrient total uptake by plant increases with increase in dose of Phosphorus (from 0 to 475 kg ha-1), Zinc (from 5 to 10 kg ha-1) and Mycorrhizal Inoculation (from 0 to 15 g per pot). Along with this total Nitrogen content in aboveground portion and below ground portion also increases with increase in application of P, Zn and Mycorrhizae. The distribution of total Phosphorus content however remained variable in above ground portion but in below ground portion, it increases with increase in application of P, Zn and AM inoculation. The potassium content remains variable in both above ground and below ground portion of the plant.
