Abstract

An experiment was carried out to develop fertilizer recommendation on the yield of chilli at multi-Location testing site, Malancha, Melandah, Jamalpur during October, 2015 to February, 2017. Local variety (Balijorimorich) was used in the study. Five treatments were included in the study these were, T1 = Recommended dose of chemical fertilizers (RD), T2 = Soil test-based fertilizer dose (STB), T3 = 125% STB based fertilizer dose, T4 = IPNS based fertilizer dose + 5 t CD/ha, T5 = Farmers’ practice. Results in both years indicated that IPNS based fertilizer dose + 5 t CD/ha significantly influenced chilli production. The highest dry yield of chilli in both the years (4.51 & 4.45 t ha-1, respectively) was recorded from IPNS based fertilizer dose + 5 t CD/ha and the lowest dry yield (2.67 & 2.68 t ha-1, respectively) was obtained from farmers’ practice.

Highlights

Chilli (Capsicum annuumL.) is considered as the most important vegetable and spice crop throughout the world which belongs to Genus Capsicum, and family “Solanaceae” (Muthukumar and Sathya, 2017)
Area under chilli cultivation was 255000 acres producing about 137000 M Ton in Rabi and Kharif seasons respectively (BBS, 2017)
Five treatments were included in the study these were, T1 = Recommended dose of chemical fertilizers (RD) - N100, P65, K100, S32, B2.0 kg/ha), T2 = Soil test based fertilizer dose (STB) - N93, P51, K58, S16, B0.9 kg/ha), T3 = 125% Soil test-based fertilizer dose (STB) based fertilizer dose (N116, P64, K73, S20, B1.13 kg/ha), T4 = Integrated plant nutrient system (IPNS) - N70, P44, K47, S17, B0.9 kg/ha) based fertilizer dose + 5 t CD/ha, T5 = Farmers' practice (N73, P40, K50, S14 kg/ha)

Summary

Introduction

Chilli (Capsicum annuumL.) is considered as the most important vegetable and spice crop throughout the world which belongs to Genus Capsicum, and family “Solanaceae” (Muthukumar and Sathya, 2017). Carotenoids are the pigments extracted from ripe red chili, which are lipidsoluble and mainly consist of capsorubin, capsanthin, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, and β-carotene These carotenoids are reported to have significant health-promoting effects, including radical scavenging activity, lipid metabolism regulation, anti-cancer effects, and anti-radiation properties (Fernandez-Bedmar and Alonso-Moraga, 2016; Fu et al, 2010). Due to decreasing cultivable land, farmers of char areas (Riverine Island) in Bangladesh have been practicing intercropped garden pea with onion, coriander with onion, sweet gourd with onion, vegetables, pulse and oilseed crops with wheat are common practice to the farmers of char areas (Talukder et al, 2015; Rahman et al, 2015; Talukder et al, 2015; Talukder et al, 2016). Area under chilli cultivation was 255000 acres producing about 137000 M Ton in Rabi and Kharif seasons respectively (BBS, 2017)
