Precision Fertigation Schedule (100% Water Soluble Fertilizers)
Dosage rates per 1,000 sq.m unit to prevent nutrient lockouts and maximize marketable produce weight.
| Crop Growth Stage | Duration | Recommended WSF Grades | Daily Dosage (1000m²) | Nutrient Purpose | Practical Instructions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetative & Root Establishment | Day 1 to Day 30 | 19:19:19 (Water Soluble) + 12:61:00 (MAP) + Humic Acid | 350g (19:19:19) + 200g (12:61:00) | High Phosphorus for root branching and quick shoot emergence | Drip fertigate every alternate day; maintain soil EC below 1.5 dS/m. |
| Flowering & Early Fruit Set | Day 31 to Day 75 | 13:40:13 + Calcium Nitrate (15.5:0:0 + 18.8% Ca) + Boron | 450g (13:40:13) + 300g (Calcium Nitrate on separate day) | Calcium and Boron to prevent blossom-end rot (BER) and flower drop | NEVER mix Calcium Nitrate with phosphates or sulfates in the same fertigation tank. |
| Fruit Bulking & Color Turning | Day 76 to Day 240 | 00:00:50 (SOP) + 13:00:45 (Potassium Nitrate) + Magnesium Sulfate | 600g (00:00:50) + 400g (13:00:45) + 150g (MgSO4) | Potassium dominance for fruit wall thickness, vibrant color & long shelf life | Ensure uniform moisture; water stress at this stage causes fruit skin cracking. |

5 Golden Polyhouse Management Rules for Colored Bell Pepper (Polyhouse Capsicum)
Prepare raised beds 90 cm top width, 40 cm height, with 50 cm walking paths.
Incorporate 15 tons of well-rotted FYM enriched with Trichoderma harzianum (2 kg) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (2 kg).
Lay dual 16mm inline drip laterals with 30cm emitter spacing (2 LPH discharge) under 30-micron silver-black plastic mulch.
Train plants to 2 or 4 main stems; pinch off all initial crown buds appearing at the first node to build plant frame.
De-leaf lower senescent leaves up to 45 cm from ground level to facilitate airflow and deter soil-borne pathogens.
