Influence of foliar application with phosphorus fertilizer and some bio stimulants extracts on yield and quality attributes of hot pepper

Abstract

The study was conducted as field experiment to evaluate the effect of different phosphorus rates (phosphoric acid ),  leaf extract ; moringa leaf extract, seaweed extract , and  carnation (clove) extract  on fruit yield, and fruit quality of pepper (Capsicum anuumm ).during 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 seasons at a private farm located in Al- Abassa, Sharqia, Egypt.

The experiment was conducted at the Private Farm and laid out split plot design in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates and included 12 treatments, where the phosphorus fertilizer, and plant extracts (4) in the main plots, and the fertilizer and plant extracts levels (3) ,i.e. 0 ,  2 , 4 ml/l are distributed  in the sub plots. The obtained results are summarized as follows:

The treatment of seaweed extract, being the most effective on  of pepper, followed by moringa extract, phosphorus fertilizer and carnation extract, respectively. The highest level ( 4 ml /l ) caused an increases in the studied character of fruit yield, fruit quality.
