Abstract: To compare effect of different growing mediums on yield of Sweet pepper (CapsicumannumL.) a pot experiment “substitution of peat as growth media for potted plants of sweet pepper †was carried out at National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) Islamabad, during June, 2016.The completely randomized design (CRD) were used with three replication and nine treatments include {T0: Traditional practicing media (soil and farmyard manure in 2:1 ratio)}, (T1: Peat), (T2: compost), (T3: Peat and compost 1:1), (T4: Peat and compost 1:1/2),(T5:Peat and compost1/2:1), (T6: Peat and Traditional practicing media 1:1), (T7: Peat and Traditional practicing media 1:1/2),(T8: Peat and Traditional practicing media 1/2:1), (T9: Peat, compost and Traditional practicing media 1:1:1).Maximum plant height(81.00 cm), Plant Spread (41.00 cm), and yield pot-1(2528.7 gm) was recorded in response to T9.While minimum plants height (36.00 cm), Plant Spread (23.33 cm), and yield pot-1(1573.0 gm) was observed in response to T0 .
