Effect of liquid vermicompost „Biohumus” on crops and chosen characteristics of sweet paprika

Abstract

In 2000-2002, the experiment was carried out with the objective of determining effect of soil fertilisation with liquid organic preparat (based on vermicompost) on crops of five cultivars of sweet paprika. In case of Iga, Podstolina, Zorza and Olivia cultivars the highest total and early crops, as well as the largest fruit mass, were obtained. Besides, a slight increase in flesh thickness was observed in Iga, Zorza and Olivia cultivars after supplementary feeding with vermicompost. On the other hand, such morphological characteristics of fruit as length and width, as well as process productivity, depended on cultivar only.
