Type: article
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Anantharajupeta, Dr. Y.S.R Horticultural University, Andhra Pradesh during 2014-2015. The trail was carried out in capsicum cv. Solan Bharpur consisting of 11 treatments, replicated thrice with Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that, capsicum plants applied with 10 t/ha of well rotten farm yard manure (T10) recorded significantly taller plant (87.30 cm), number of leaves (163.77), stem girth (4.85 cm), leaf length (19.04 cm), leaf width (11.33 cm). However, higher number of fruits (25.66), fruit length (8.83 cm), fresh fruit weight (58.83 g), weight of 10 fruits (663.72 g), yield (16.32 t/ha), pericarp thickness at the blossom end (1.33 cm), number of seeds per fruit (140.05), dry weight of 100 seeds (0.71 g), fruit diameter (18.25 cm) and pericarp thickness at the centre of the fruit (0.81 cm) were registered with the application of vermicompost (2.50 t/ha) (T9).
