Impact of Organic Manures and Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth, Yield and it’s Attributing Traits of Chilli (Capsicum annum L.)

The experiment was carried out to explore the “Impact of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and it’s attributing traits on Chilli (Capsicum annum L.)”. The experiment was conducted during 2021-2022 at experimental farm of Department of Horticultural sciences, Naini Agriculture Institute, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF), vermicompost, poultry manure, farm yard manure and inorganic fertilizers were used as treatments. Eight different doses of treatments were recommended for each replication. Experiment was conducted using Randomized Block Design (RBD). The performance of growth and yield was analysed. The Treatment T4 - 100%RDF+ (5t vermicompost +2.5t poultry manure) performed well with a better Plant height of 77 cm at 90 days, number of branches 15.32, days to 50 % flowering 36.32 days, number of fruits per plant 75.32, fruit length 11.64cm, number of seeds per fruit 62.66, test weight of 6.68 g, maximum fruit yield per plant was 845.80 g and maximum fruit yield per plot was 313.25 q/ha. Control treatment shown the lowest growth and yield.
