ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different organic liquid manures on the growth, yield and quality of chilli (var. Byadagi dabbi). The population of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and nitrogen fixers were enumerated from the soil samples of chilli field at initial stage and at harvest stage. The numbers of fruits per plant and chilli yield were significantly highest in treatment 9 (RDF + Panchagavya + Jeevamrutha + Beejamrutha) as compared to treatment 1 (only RDF). These results indicated that the integrated use of organic manures and chemical fertilizers has a better effect on crop yield. This study clearly brought out the beneficial effects of organic liquid manures interms of soil biological activities and quality of chilli.
Key words :
Capsicum annuum, Chilli, Organic manures, Panchagavya, Quality, Yield.
