Online Published on 26 October, 2023. Abstract A field experiment was conducted during 2020 at the experimental farm of Department of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh to study the influence of planting conditions, nutrient sources and intercropping patterns on production of Capsicum annum in mid-hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design having crops C annuum and Glycine max in kharif season with three factors viz two planting conditions, five intercropping patterns and three nutrient sources. The results revealed that among the planting conditions, maximum yield of C annum was recorded in open condition. In case of intercropping patterns and nutrient sources, higher fruit diameter, length and yield of C annum were recorded in sole cropping on application of RDF along with FYM while minimum were recorded in intercropping with control where no manure was applied.
