Influence of biostimulants on growth and development of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

Abstract

The effect of four different biostimulants was investigated in this study. Biostimulants Radifarm®, Megafol®, Benefit® and Viva® were applied according to manufacturer’s advice. Pepper hybrid Vedrana F1 was used to evaluate the effect of biostimulants on yield parameters. All the parameters tested including average fruit yield per plant, largest fruit weight, smallest fruit weight and average fruit number per plant were affected by biostimulant treatment sometime during the investigation period. Treated plants had higher yields and fruit weight. The study suggested hat biostimulants positively affect pepper yield parameters.
