EFFECT OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZER DOSE ON YIELD, QUALITY AND NUTRIENT UTILIZATION RATE OF SWEET PEPPER IN ORGANIC SUBSTRATE

Soilless culture with organic substrate was used to study fertilization effect on yield, quality and utilization rates of N, P and K of sweet pepper. Based on results, yield and quality of sweet pepper were enhanced by proper fertilizer application. Nutrient utilization rate decreases once fertilization ratio approaches excessive levels.
