| ABSTRACT Fertigation can be managed using fixed fertilizer doses or by assessing the ionic concentration of soil solution throughout the growing period. This work studied how different fertigation management systems affected sweet pepper yield and quality. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse, in pots. Fertigation was managed according to the crop uptake rate (M1) or by monitoring either the electrical conductivity (M2) or the N and K concentration (M3) in the soil solution. Fertigation management was combined with six N and K doses (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 300% of the recommended dose for sweet pepper in the region), in complete blocks at random, with four replications, and treatments in 3x6 factorial. Dry matter accumulation, yield and fruit... |
