Performance of Coloured Bell Pepper in Naturally-Ventilated Polyhouse under Mid-Hill Conditions of Himachal Pradesh

Bell pepper is highly susceptible to water stagnation and excess moisture. Therefore, cultivation of this vegetable under protected structures can prove to be a boon, ensuring higher yields and quality produce. Farmers are mainly concentrating on cultivation of coloured varieties, viz., Orobelle and...
