Paprika (Capsicum annuum var. longam) is the Hungarian word for plants in the genus Capsicum, belonging to the family Solanaceae which has its origin from Western Hemisphere of the world. Fertigation is known to play a vital role in enhancing the productivity and quality of many horticultural crops. Fertigation studies on paprika (Capsicum annuum var. longam) were carried out, during 2006-2009 at Coimbatore to find out the effect of different sources and levels of potassium on post harvest characters of paprika. The treatment T7 recorded the lowest Physiological loss in weight and fruit spoilage, the highest fruit firmness and shelf-life.
