The problems of low fruit yield of green pepper
are often related to poor fruit set. Poor fruit
set may be due to incomplete pollination or
effects of environmental factors such as moisture
and nutrient stress. itrogen is known to
be the most important nutrient affecting fruit
yield in pepper. Nitrogen influences flower
development of several vegetable crops including
pepper, tomato and cucumber (Kinet et al.
1985). In tomato, high increases flower formation
but not fruit set (Garrison et al. 1967).
However, the effect of fertilizer upon flowering
and fruit set of green pepper has produced
contradictory results. Higher rates of N increased
the number of blossoms formed and
fruit set
