The polybags are first filled with the rice husk and the drip irrigation nozzles inserted in each polybag. The nutrients are fed through the pipes. The seedlings are transferred into the planting material.

Its good to bell pepper farms in India . I like the way this blog shows about bell pepper cultivation. I have a question here in what kind of soil and temperature they grow ?
Hi Tulasi … you can grow bell peppers in soil that is well drained. It must not be sticky and the water must drain out well (porous). Reddish soil which we call ‘murum’ is good. I grew my bell peppers in rice husk (neutral)and fed them nutrients through drip irrigation. But now I grow ony herbs organicallly. The temperature and moisture content has to be in cool conditions. In India you need to have a polyhouse/greenhouse.
If I want more details and help in regard to bell pepper farming where can I get it. We have some farming land in the village, which we want to utilise for bell pepper farming…..also i would like to know about the marketing of the produce
Preeti, .. when I started bell peppers I had attended a seminar at the Agriculture Research Institute in Pune. Thereafter I had to search the net and get info as at that time no one was doing it here. Now there are many farmers growing bell peppers. The market also must have come down. You get the seeds quite easily now. Of course you will need to invest in poly-houses. Market is hotels and big retailers who get premium class customers. The rates in ‘sabzi -mandi’ will not be attractive.
Wish you happy growing
This is vishnu from Hyderabad.I want to know the detailed information regarding bell pepper cultivation under net houses and green houses
Hello Vishnu welcome to Jugnoo farms. When I started Bell pepper cultivation in 1998 only poly-house was recommended. I did try growing under shade nets but the results were not good. The peppers shape got distorted and also the plants did not thrive due pest attacks. In polyhouse the moisture and temperature could be controlled through foggers.
I stopped growing bell peppers in a couple of years as I found the going quite tough due to pests and virus. Perhaps if the weather conditions are cooler it may be easier.
Hope this helps. Wish you all the best.
Dear Sir, I wants to grow yellow & red bell Peppers in pune in this summer, can i take a chance without polyhouse.also advise on how & where i will get seeds?
Namaskar Yogesh! How nice to know you are growing veggies. I am afraid my experience says it may not be possible to grow good quality bell peppers outside in Pune summer. In the hilly areas around Pune during winter the weather is good but that’s a short season
Best regards!
Namaskar Naidu Sir! Can we get bell pepper seeds or can you make them available for me and what will be cost?
Yoges! namaskar I sourced the seeds from Praj Industries and friends returning from Netherlands. I am not sure if Praj still does this business. Try Naik Krishi Udyog.
Cheers
