“…It was 5.9 to 7.8 kg/m 3 in Lebanon (Karam et al 2009) and 3.5 to 10.9 kg/m 3 in India (Singh 2008. Consistent with the findings by Singh et al (2010), the greenhouse microclimatic condition resulted in increased water productivity as the evapotranspiration was less compared to the open field.…”

The experiment was conducted during 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 under naturally ventilated greenhouse condition at Centre for Protected Cultivation Technology (CPCT), ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi. The capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) variety California Wonder was planted under colored plastic mulches (silver, yellow and black) and non-mulched (control) condition in combination with three levels of irrigation, viz. 100%, 80%, and 60% ETc.. The yield of capsicum was observed significantly higher under silver mulch (63-71.6 t/ha) followed by yellow mulch (60.04-67.04 t/ha) at 100% ETc and silver mulch (59.72-70.8 t/ha) at 80% ETc for three consecutive years. Growth parameters were significantly affected by different combination of treatments. The highest and lowest plant height (149.9 cm and 56.5 cm), leaf area (1.98 m2/m2 and 1.09 m2/m2) and total dry matter (120.4 g and 57 g) were observed under silver mulch with 100% and non-mulched with 60% ETc respectively during all the three years of experiment. Highest growth parameters were at par with silver mulch with 80% ETc treatment. Significantly higher crop water productivity (43.30-36.53 kg/m3) in silver mulch with 80 % ETc treatment was observed compared to other combination of treatments. The results revealed that, capsicum cultivation under silver coloured plastic mulch in the naturally ventilated greenhouse not only saved irrigation water but also enhanced yield, crop growth and crop water productivity at reduced level of irrigation (80% ETc). Silver colour plastic mulch was found to be best suitable for growing capsicum crop inside the naturally ventilated greenhouse.

“…However, high night-time humidity could result in higher production of pepper biomass (Table 2-13) and fruit weight in the greenhouse [42]. Previous research [5,8,10,43] determined an increase in plant height, the number of leaves, dry weight of shoot and root, as well as fruit number and fruit size of pepper and flowering in the greenhouse in order to field conditions which are in accordance with results determined in the present study (Tables 2-13) (Figure 2).…”

“…The reduction in dry mass accumulation could be a result of the restriction of sucrose synthesis by low temperatures [7]. Low temperature coupled with high humidity (Figure 1) reduces the yield under open field conditions [5]. However, high night-time humidity could result in higher production of pepper biomass (Tables 2-13) and fruit weight in the greenhouse [42].…”

“…Favorable microclimate for growth and continuous all-year production increase the overall yield in the greenhouse [4]. Ventilated greenhouse as a place for sweet pepper production can be profitable due to the longer crop season achieved with controlled growing conditions in comparison with open field production [5]. Influence of the greenhouse microenvironment results in increased fruit quality, higher crop growth, and yield [6].…”

Plasma-activated water (PAW) is a novel and promising technique in the agricultural field that has the potential to improve vegetable growth and yield. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of plasma-activated water seeds treatment and growth conditions on pepper plant growth parameters and fruit quality. A factorial design of three factors (C = cultivar, GC = growth condition, and PAW = plasma activated water treatment seeds) was established, with two variants for each one: Cultivar 1 (C1) and Cultivar 2 (C2); greenhouse (G) and open field (F); PAW seeds treatment (PAW) and seeds without treatment with PAW (C). Four replicates with fifty seeds were taken for each variety. Growth and fruit quality parameters were measured in the three month period during 2021 and 2022, respectively. The significant influence of cultivar, growing condition, and PAW on fruit quality and pepper plant growth parameters were determined. The lowest values of measured parameters were obtained in the open field without PAW treatment. Pepper growth in a greenhouse from PAW-treated seeds had a higher canopy height (17.85%), weight (10.57%), number of leaves (10.5%), nodes (18.94%), and buds (37.83%). Moreover, dry matter content was higher (33.73%) as well as fruit quality: fruit weight (50.19%), diameter (24.3%), length (20.88%), and pericarp weight (49.49%). Results indicate that PAW treatment of peppers seeds can lead to production and yield improvement under different climates and growing conditions.

Capsicum cultivation is a highly challenging task in open field conditions because of the extreme climatic conditions and poor input delivery system. Hence, the protected cultivation of capsicum is catching up. The present study evaluates the comparative performance of polyhouse, shadenet house and opens field conditions on the biometric, yield, fruit quality and economics of capsicum using drip and fertigation system. The study also determines the optimum dose of irrigation water and fertilizer application using drip irrigation methods under different protected cultivation structures. The study was conducted at Precision Farming Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur, for two consecutive years during 2022 and 2023. The irrigation water requirement of capsicum under polyhouse, shadenet house and open field conditions was estimated using FAO-56 Penman Monteith approach. When compared to open field cultivation, drip irrigated capsicum requires approximately 35.2% less water under polyhouse conditions and 25.5% less under shade net houses. The study also found that biometric parameters, yield and quality of capsicum are superior under polyhouse in comparison to the capsicum grown under shadenet and in open field conditions. Polyhouse treatments, particularly 100% RDF with 80% WR, demonstrated superior biometric parameters, quality metrics, and water productivity compared to other treatments. Capsicum grown under shadenet house conditions with 120% RDF with 80% WR also showed enhanced yield and quality over open field conditions. Economic analysis revealed that polyhouse cultivation, despite higher initial costs, yielded the highest net profit and benefit-cost ratio, followed by shadenet house and open field conditions. These findings underscore the importance of controlled environments in improving capsicum production and economic returns, highlighting the potential of polyhouses and shadenet houses in optimizing crop performance and resource use efficiency.
