Results of experiments with paprika grown in soil have shown the high sensitivity of the crop to nutrient supply. According to these findings, yield and also fruit quality are highly affected not only by the nitrogen and potassium level, the concentration of nutrient solution, but also by the nitrogen-potassium ratio. Our preliminary tests have also proved, that the composition of the nutrient solution, first of all, the N/K ratio has a definite effect on the yield quantity and quality. Several factors of the alimentary value of the fruits have changed, too, in consequence of the increased potassium-nitrogen ratio in the nutrient solution. The vitamin C, potassium and dry matter content of the fruits increased with the nutrient solutions higher in potassium.
