Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic
manures on growth, yield and quality of chilli {Capsicum annuum L.)
at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural
Sciences, Dharwad during kharif 2005-06. In experiment was laid out
in RED with four organic source and their combinations. The RDF
with and without FYM kept as control.
Application of FYM + 100 RDF (772.2 kg/ha) recorded
significantly higher fruit yield over sole application of organics and
RDF alone. However, the different combinations of organics viz., FYM
(50%) + poultry manure (50%) (727.6 kg/ha), vermicompost (50%) +
FYM (50%) (713.51 kg/ha), FYM (50%) + neem cake (50%) (710.6
kg/ha) and poultrymanure @ 7.5 t/ha (708.2 kg/ha) also recorded
yield on par with FYM + 100 per cent RDF. The growth and yield
components, NPK uptake at harvest also followed the same trend as
that of fruit yield.
The quality parameters like oleoresin per cent and yield
increased by 13.89, 6.6, 3.7 and 2.3 per cent with application of
poultry manure @ 7.5 t/ha, vermicompost 10 t/ha, FYM (50%) +
vermicompost (50%), FYM (50%) + neem cake (50%) as compared RDF
alone. The extractable similar value also increased by 2.9 to 6.0 with
application of FYM (50%) + poultry manure (50%), FYM (50%) + neem
cake (50%) over RDF alone.
The maximum net returns is higher with application of RDF
(Rs.28,614) followed by RDF + FYM @ 10 t har^ (Rs.27,996), poultry
manure
