Paprika Farmers Boost Yields and Profits with Precision Fertigation
In a field study on paprika (capsicum), different levels of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) were tested to see how they affect paprika quality and yield. The experiment compared various N and K fertilization levels, like 100% or 125% of the recommended amounts, using techniques like drip or furrow irrigation. Results showed that using specific N and K levels through drip fertigation not only influenced the yield but also improved fruit quality. For example, altering the N and K levels led to changes in the total fresh fruit yield and quality attributes of the paprika. The study found that adjusting these nutrient levels can impact both the amount and quality of the paprika harvested, demonstrating the importance of precise fertilization strategies for better crop outcomes.
