Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of different organic manures on growth and yield of chilli (Capsicum annum L.) cv. Pusa Jwala under in Bundelkhand region of U.P.” Was carried out the organic research farm Karguwan Ji Institute of Agricultural Sciences Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) during rabi season of the year 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications comprising 8 viz. T0-Control, T1- Farm yard manure, T2- Poultry manure, T3-Vermicompost, T4-Neem cake, T5-Farm yard manure (50%) + Vermicompost (50%), T6-Farm yard manure (50%) + Poultry manure (50%) and T7- Farm yard manure (50%) + Neem cake (50%). The result showed that the treatment T6 FYM (50%) +Poultry manure (50%) gave maximum and significantly, plant height (18.70, 28.36, 40.49 and 56.70 cm), Stem diameter (0.49, 0.90, 1.56 and 1.94 cm), Number of Branches (4.00, 9.66, 14.66 and 21.33) 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT respectively, Plant diameter (40.48 cm), Days to 1st flowering (39.66 days), Number of fruit per plants (132.33), Fruit length (8.63 cm), Fruit diameter (1.92 cm), Average fruit weight (1.59), Fruit yield (7832.55 kg/ha) and Dry fruit weight (31.57g). Application of T6 FYM (50%) +Poultry manure (50%) significantly superior to other treatments.
