Nutritional deficiency problems in vegetables crops are becoming a major problem in the Onattukara sandy loam soils of Kerala. Increasing organic matter status and nutrient use efficiency are essential for profitable crop production in these soils. In this context, development of formulations for better nutrient delivery to the crop plants with major thrust on organic formulations enriched with critical nutrients are essential. Most of the conventional organic fertilizers are supplied with comparatively high amount of primary nutrients and very less amount of secondary and micronutrients. The objective of the present study was to fortify the organic matrix developed from agro wastes with macro and micro nutrients and to evaluate the effect of this fortified organic matrix pellets on yield and quality of chilli in the sandy loam soils of Onattukara. Organic matrix was prepared from rice husk, rice husk ash, cowdung, coir pith compost, vermicompost, poultry manure, neem cake and ground nut cake in 1: 4: 5: 1: 2: 1: 1: 1 ratio. The developed organic matrix was fortified with essential nutrients viz., N (2.3%), P (0.8 %), K (3.0%), Ca (1.0%), Mg (1.0), S (1.1%), Fe (0.09%), Mn (0.1%), Zn (0.2%), Cu (0.1%), B (0.3%) and Mo (0.01%). Evaluated the effect of various doses and time of application of fortified organic matrix pellets on growth and yield of chilli through a field experiment using chilli variety Ujwala. The study revealed that the fortified organic matrix fertilizer is capable of enhancing the growth and yield attributes of chilli. The highest yield was reported in T4 in which fortified organic matrix pellets @ 500g/plant in two splits was applied at basal and 45 days after transplanting. Application of fortified organic matrix pellets significantly improved yield and quality parameters in chilli in Onattukara sandy loam soil.
