Abstract:
This study focuses on the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on fruit parameters of capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) and was performed under net house conditions using a completely randomized design with thirteen treatments along with seed treatment and foliar application of ZnO nanoparticles @ 50, 100 and 150 ppm concentration which was further replicated three times during the year 2020. The effect of seed treatment and foliar application of ZnO nanoparticles at the rate of 50, 100 and 150 ppm along with different nutrient sources on fruit shape index and pericarp thickness of capsicum was evaluated and it was observed that, the fruit shape index and pericarp thickness did not vary significantly by the seed treatment as well as foliar application of ZnO nanoparticles.
