ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, UAS, Dharwad in vertisols to study the effect of mulches, organics and organic solutions on growth, yield and quality of chilli in Northern Transition Zone of Karnataka. The treatments comprised of mulches (glyricidia lopping and crop residues) organics (FYM) and organic solutions (Amruthpani and Jeevamrut). Application of glyricidia loppings @ 10 t per ha, crop residues @ 10 t per ha along with FYM + organic solutions i.e., Amruthpani (860.70 kg/ha, 830.83 kg/ha, respectively) recorded on par yield as that of FYM @ 10 t per ha + RDF (935.45 kg/ha), with a net returns of ` 26,710 and 25,557 per ha respectively. Whereas, FYM @ 10 t per ha with 100 per cent RDF recorded higher net returns of ` 29,941 per ha with a B:C ratio of 2.74. The growth, yield components and uptake of N, P, K at harvest recorded with FYM + RDF treatments compared to any of the other treatment combinations except glyricidia + FYM + Amrutpani. The quality parameters viz., ascorbic acid, percent oleoresin, oleoresin yield and colour value increased with application of mulches + organics + organic solutions compared to check treatment. The per cent and yield of discoloured fruits reduced with application of mulches + organics + organic solution combinations.
