This experiment was done under a plastic greenhouse to investigate the growth, fruit quality parameters and yield of sweet pepper plants grown under two different plastic mulch color and three different treatments of Nostoc clacicola fertilizations. The plastic mulch treatments were transparent polyethylene and white polyethylene with 100 microns thickness. Bare soil (uncovered soil) was used as a control. Transparent and white polyethylene was laid after the establishment of the double rows (0.80 m width). Beds were manually installed to correspond to treatments and Nostoc clacicola fertilization treatments: Nostoc clacicola foliar fertilization, Nostoc clacicola soil fertilization and Nostoc clacicola foliar with soil fertilization (spray+ Soil). Vegetative growth (plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves/ plants, number of branches/ plants, leaves fresh weight and leaf area), as well as fruit yield and quality (total yield, fruit length and fruit diameter), chemical contents (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Leaves dry matter% and Vitamin C) of sweet pepper (Capsicum species) Gedeon F1 Hybrid. Obtained results revealed that using transparent plastic mulch with a combination of Nostoc clacicola foliar and soil fertilization enhanced all vegetative growth measurements and increased all assayed chemical constituents of plant leaves, as well as increasing total fruit yield and components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
