Effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer on growth, yield and physiological parameter of chilli (Capsicum annum L.)

Abstract

The effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on growth, yield and biochemical parameters of Chili were studied under 10 different treatment of T0 Control, T1 100% RDF of Inorganic, T2 100% FYM, T3 100% Poultry Manure, T4 100% Vermicompost, T5 25% RDF Inorganic + 75% FYM, T6 25% RDF Inorganic + 75% poultry manure, T7 25% RDF Inorganic + 75% Vermicompost, T8 33% FYM + 33% PM + 33% Vermicompost, T9, 25% RDF Inorganic + 25% FYM+ 25% poultry manure + 25% Vermicompost. The results showed significantly higher growth in plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, number of flower, number of fruit, fresh weight and dry weight per plant in treatment T6 (NPK+ poultry manure) in comparison to other treatments. The biochemical parameters like the Chlorophyll a, and b, Carotenoid, protein and Capsaicin were recorded maximum in T6 (NPK+ poultry manure). The level of NPK in soil has showed significantly higher results in T6 (inorganic fertilizer + organic manure).
