Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: A field investigation was conducted at the poly house of Department of Horticulture, COA, CAU, Imphal, during the rabi season 2019-20 to study the “Effect of organic sources of nitrogen on growth, yield and quality of king chilli”. The layout of the experiment was Randomized Block Design with three replications under 8 different treatments. Results revealed that application of 100% RDF (T8) registered significant values for plant height (67.92 cm), leaf length (9.71 cm), number of leaves (116.63), plant canopy (3118.60 cm2), leaf area (32.91 cm2), number of fruits (41.06), fruit yield (8.55 t/ha), seed yield (306.39 kg/ha) and harvest index (57.33%). While, T3 (100% RDN through vermicompost) recorded significant result for number of branches (19.60), fruit length (6.27 cm), fruit diameter (2.65 cm), fruit weight (5.85 g), number of seeds (33.80) and least days to 1st flowering (74.83 DAT) and 50% flowering (90.23 DAT). The ascorbic acid content (129.83 mg/g) increased significantly under T6 (50% RDN through FYM + 25% RDN through vermicompost + Azospirillum). The application of 100% RDF (T8) recorded maximal net income (â‚¹ 1040320/ha) and highest B:C ratio (4.29) followed by T3 (100% RDN through vermicompost).
