The study investigates the impact of different fertilization strategies on the root development and yield capacity
of Capsicum annuum L. Four fertilization variants were tested: V1 - Graundfix®, V2 - Albit®, V3 - Rerum and V4 -
Unfertilized (control) on three cultivars in polyethylene greenhouse soil. Parameters assessed included plant height, stem collar diameter, root length, root width and weight, and yield per plant. The application of biofertilizers (V1 and V2) demonstrated a positive impact on the root system activity of the greenhouse culture, when compared to the control and chemical fertilizer treatments. The productivity of the plants was found to be directly proportional to the root parameters.
