Abstract
An investigation was conducted to assess the effect of fertilizers, Azospirillum and compost (kitchen waste manure) on chilli (Capsicum annum var. frutescence) cv. Pusa Jwala at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.) during winter season of 2016-17. The twelve treatments were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. Results showed that the highest fresh weight of fruits per plant (575.73g), highest fruit yield (9212 g plot-1 and 4.26 t ha-1) was recorded with 50% RDF + kitchen waste manure (25 and 50 days after transplanting)] followed by RDF 50% + Azospirillum (soil application at transplanting). However, the quality characters in terms of total soluble solids (7.4 %), ascorbic acid (116.67mg/ 100 g fruit), total sugars (2.5 %), reducing sugars (1.7 %) and non-reducing sugars (0.8 %) of fruits were observed better with Azospirillum treatment along with RDF i.e. RDF 50% + Azospirillum (soil application at transplanting)]. It was also seen that combined effect of RDF and organic manures proved superior to RDF (100%) sole application in respect of yield and quality of fruits. The lowest values of yield and quality parameters were recorded in control treatment.
