The experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with eight treatments and three replications during the Kharif season in the year 2018.Higher plant height (42.5, 74.60, 85.47, 97.9 cm at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after transplanting (DAT) respectively), number of branches per plant (8.16, 13.50, 20.93 at 60, 90 and 120 DAT respectively), number of leaves per plant (19.35, 44.67, 72.67 and 83.00 at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT respectively), leaf area of 86.65 cm2 were recorded in 100% RDF+20% RDF through BDLM @ 7 days interval through drip fertigation under open field condition and higher dry matter accumulation per plant (109.33 g) were recorded in the treatment receiving 100% RDF+20% RDF through BDLM @ 3 days interval through drip fertigation under open field condition. Reproductive parameters such as number of flowers per plant (30.73), per cent fruit set (37.55) was higher, while days taken for first flowering (28.17), first fruit set (7.00 days), first harvest (61.33 days) were found in the treatment combination of 100% RDF + 20% RDF through BDLM @ 7days interval through drip fertigation under open field condition. Present study revealed that, application of 100% RDF+20% RDF through BDLM at 7 days interval recorded the highest growth, yield and quality of capsicum under open field condition.
