Harvesting

Harvesting of capsicum usually starts after 80-90 days. The best time of harvesting is in the morning at an interval of 3-4 days. For, Yellow and Red varieties harvesting can be done after it attains 50-80% colour. The traditionally grown green capsicum, depending upon variety and season, usually yields 20-40 tons per hectare in about 4-5 months. In the greenhouse, the crop duration of green and coloured capsicums is about 7 -10 months and yields about 80-100 t per hectare.
