Factors Influencing Performance of Capsicum under Protected Cultivation: A Review

Abstract

Vegetables as the succulent pot herb are the most vulnerable to vagaries of climate change i.e. extreme weather events, such as elevated temperature, lengthy droughts, untimely rains, heavy rainfalls, violent storms, sea rising and resurgence of biotic stresses such as weeds, pathogens and their vectors, and insect pests. Adjoining to this, shrinking of cultivable land, limited natural resources, lower productivity, higher inputs cost, shortage of man power, low market price, hesitation among youth to choose farming as career etc. endorse the adoption of protected cultivation as the ultimatum to all these troublesome. In recent days, protected or greenhouse cultivation of high value vegetables like capsicum especially during offseason has been witnessed in increasing trends among small and marginal farmers as it is high value and low volume crop and produce higher yield in manifolds with superior quality. Protected structure not only delimits the abiotic and biotic stresses in capsicum cultivation but also accounts for higher economic remuneration to growers and provide a boost to their socio-economic development through adoption of improved package of practice such as mulching, drip irrigation, fertigation, training and pruning, better plant protection management, etc. Though, protected cultivation is remunerative but high initial investment, lack of technical guidance, non-availability of genuine building material for protected structure, torrential flood, cyclone etc. are major constraints and setbacks prevailed in developing counties like India for its adoption and commercialization. Therefore, this review covers all the aspects of protected cultivation in Capsicum to find an amicable solution through improved technologies.

Evaluación de dos porcentajes de drenaje sobre chile dulce (Capsicum annuum) cultivado bajo invernadero

“…Por otra parte, otros autores indican que, en chile dulce, el umbral mínimo de T es de 13°C, el rango óptimo es de 20-24°C, y el umbral máximo es de 30°C [21]. Si T excede los 35°C, o se ubica por debajo de 12°C, el cuaje de frutos se ve afectado [19]. Otros autores indican que el chile dulce se desarrolla mejor con una HR superior a 80%; una baja HR junto con alta T, puede causar deshidratación de las células, lo que provoca daños permanentes a la planta y una reducción del crecimiento, y esto produce un menor número de frutos por planta [19].…”

An Exploration Study on Hybrid Vegetable Crops in Kulgam District of Jammu and Kashmir

“…Eggplant, tomato, cucumber, okra, beans, cucurbits, and peppers are considered local vegetables. Therefore, Parmanik et al (2021) authorize the adoption of a protected plant as the end of all these difficulties. In recent days, protected or hot-growing cultivation of high value vegetables such as capsicum especially during the offseason has proven an increasing trend among small and low-scale farmers because it has a high value and low volume crop and produces high yields in many high quality areas.…”

Breeding Approaches against Climate Change and Quality Enhancement in Vegetables

“…Agricultural production is directly related to climate change, adversely affecting climate change (Raza et al, 2019). Change in every day means utmost and least temperature is the main result of climate variation that harmfully influences vegetable production, as numerous plant biochemical, physiological, and metabolic processes depend on temperature (Pramanik et al, 2019). Water ease of access is likely to be extremely responsive to changes in climate, and an adverse water scarcity environment will influence the production of vegetables.…”
