Effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of chilli (Capsicum annum) cv. Pusa Jwala

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on the growth, yield and quality of chilli cv. Pusa Jwala. The experiments were conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replication. Among the various thirteen treatments, the combination of poultry manure + Azotobactor + Phosphotika stimulated better response. The growth, yield, ascorbic acid, TSS and NPK uptake by chilli plants were influenced by the application of organic manures and biofertilizers in combination.

Introduction Chilli is one of the most important spices of India is the main source of red chilli for India and is used in bulk quantities of both in international market. Export of chilli accounts fresh as well as dried forms. Important for (2, 41,000 t) in terms of quantity and (2, cultivated species of chilli are Capsicum 14,408 Rs in lakhs) in terms of value from annum, Capsicum frutescence and Capsicum India in 2011-2012. Chilli is one of the richest chinense. Chilli (Capsicum annum) belongs to sources of vitamin ‘C’ and fruits accumulate family solanecae. India is a leading country in maximum ascorbic acid when it turns to production of chilli in the world, present area maturity and it ranges from 100 – 320 mg per under chilli cultivation is about (0.79 million 100 g of fruits. Active principle for pungency ha) with a production of (1.2 million tonnes) is capsaicin (N-vanilly-8-methyl-69(c) and productivity of about (1.5 t/ha). The noeamide). The principle colouring pigment production of chilli in North East Region is is ‘capsanthin’. (3000 t) from an area of (600 ha).
