- Abstract
To study the influence of different soilless growing systems and nutrient concentrations of Hoagland's solution on per cent survival of seedlings, plant height, growth rate, leaf area, chlorophyll content, number of flowers per inflorescence, days to flower initiation, days to 50 per cent flowering and days to maturity in paprika chilli at various growth stages, the study was conducted at AICRP on Seed (Crops), UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru during 2021-2023. The results revealed that, among the treatments, paprika chilli crop grown in Dutch buckets (using clay balls as growing medium) with 100 per cent (full strength) Hoagland's solution influenced the performance of chilli plants under greenhouse condition and showed significantly highest per cent survival of seedlings (100%) at 20 DAT, highest plant height (165.38 cm), plant growth rate (0.09 cm), leaf area (1591.79 cm2), chlorophyll content (56.86) at 180 DAT, number of flowers per inflorescence at 60 DAT (15.67), and took significantly less days to maturity (119.06) which was followed by Dutch bucket with 10 per cent increase in 100 per cent Hoagland's solution for every 20 days compared to control (98.67%, 154.28 cm, 0.06 cm, 1370.92 cm2, 44.21, 12.66 and 120.94, respectively). Whereas, 50 per cent Hoagland's solution (half strength) showed comparatively less performance both in Dutch buckets and grow bags over control. Paprika chilli grown in Dutch buckets with 100 per cent Hoagland's solution improved the crop performance and seed quality compared to control and other methods. Hence, this could be exploited for commercial soilless seed production of paprika chilli.
