ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted on response of mulching and fertigation techniques in chilli (Capsicum frutescens L.) under Chhattisgarh plain study during the year 2013-14 in winter season at Horticulture Instructional-cum-Research Farm, (PFDC) IGKV, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with nine treatments combinations and three replications. The experimental plots were treated with three fertigation levels 100, 80 and 60 % RDF and different mulching materials consisting of black plastic, paddy straw and without mulch. The plant height, primary branches, fruit weight (g), number of fruits, days to first flowering and yield q.ha-1 increased with fertigation levels and mulching. Highest fruit yield was recorded in black plastic mulch with 402.16q.ha-1 followed by 362.92q.ha-1 in paddy straw and lowest fruit yield was recorded in without mulch, 340.38q.ha-1. Under fertigation experiment highest fruit yield was recorded in 80% RDF with 414.57q.ha-1 followed by 100% RDF 372.99q.ha-1and lowest fruit yield was found in 60 % RDF with 317.89 qha-1.
Key words :
Chilli, Fertigation levels, Growth & yield attributes, Mulching.
