Protected cultivation

• Capsicums can be successfully grown either for fruits or for seed production using naturally ventilated poly cum net houses for off season cultivation in areas where temperatures do not exceed 37-380C. Using misters or foggers to maintain slightly higher RH and marginally reduced temperature, fruit yields in the range of 30-35 t/ha and seed yield of > 1 kg/100 m2 are obtained
