Abstract

Under cold arid Ladakh condition, production of bell pepper is limited by climate and short growing season and people depend upon outside supply for consumption. Keeping this in view, seven promising hybrids popular in other parts of country were tried in six different protected structures. Design of the experiment was split plot. Results revealed that Mud wall greenhouse recorded highest yield per ha and number of fruits but par with Chinese and LEHO greenhouses. Bell pepper hybrid US-181 was highest yielder. Mud wall greenhouse in combination with hybrid Bharath recorded statistically highest yield per ha. Mud wall greenhouse and LEHO greenhouse may be recommended for small and marginal farmers while Chinese being costly for commercial bell pepper production to bring more economic prosperity. Key words: Bell pepper, Capsicum annuum, cold arids, protected structure, yield.
