| dc.description.abstract | Chilli is one of the most valuable commercial vegetable crops grown throughout the country. It is grown in both rainfed and irrigated conditions, however in traditional growing regions of Karnataka, it is mainly grown as a rainfed crop. The study was carried out in PFDC Centre, Division of Horticulture, UAS, GKVK in 2012-13 to determine the effect of different levels of fertigation and mulching on growth, yield and quality of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) var. Arka Lohit with 8 treatments in combination of 3 fertigation and 2 mulching levels. The treatment T5 [ 120% RDF (water soluble) + drip fertigation + 30 micron black polythene mulch] recorded maximum plant height (110.60 cm), number of branches(18.10), plant spread (4241.70 cm2), number of flowers (231.16), fruit set percentage (79.12), fruit length (9.62 cm),number of fruits per plant (185.10), fruit yield per plant (573.81 g), fruit yield per hectare(16.98 t), quality attributes like number of seeds per fruit (75.74), dry fruit weight (22.74 per cent), ascorbic acid (131.62 mg/100 g of fresh weight,) TSS (7.4 °Brix). From this investigations we could conclude that, 120 per cent of recommended dosage (180 N : 90 P2O5 : 90 K2O Kg ha-1) of fertilizers in the form of water soluble fertilizer along with drip irrigation + 30 micron black polythene mulch is ideal for the maximum growth, yield and quality attributes in chilli var.
