Studies on the Effect of Organic Nutrient Sources and Chemical Fertilizers on Sustainable Productivity of Chilli (Capsicum annun L.)

The present study was carried out the effect of organic nutrient sources and chemical fertilizers on sustainable productivity of chilli (Capsicum annun L.) during the rabi season of the year, 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 12 treatment and three replications. Among the various levels of organic nutrient and NPK used in the experiment, treatment T12 50% FYM + 50% Vermicompost resulted highest values on plant height (27.59, 57.70, 78.68 and 113.16), Days to first flower initiation (31.55), Days to 50% flowering (56.08), Number of fruit plant-1 (63.74), fruit length (cm) and fruit width (cm) (7.17 & 2.52), Weight of fruit (3.80g), Fruit yield (g) plant-1 (242.27), Fruit yield (kg) plot-1 (1453.62) and fruit yield (t ha-1) (2.75) under Satna agro-climatic condition when compared with control and the other treatments.
