Abstract

An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2008-09 to study the effect of drip irrigation and fertilizer management on Capsicum at Research area farms of Assam Agriculture University Jorhat (Assam) India. Result reviled that the effect of drip irrigation and fertilizer management treatments (T3) were significant in respect of percent nitrogen content both in plant (2.18%) and fruits (1.19%). Similarly the highest uptake af p2o5 by plants (7.37 kg/ha) and by fruits (3.64 kg/ha) k2o by plant (47.05 kg/ha) and by fruits (26.07 kg/ha) recorded in treatment T3 at 100% EPR alone with the application of 75% RD of N and K through drip. The total Uptake of N (69.16 kg/ha) p2o 5 (11.0 kg/ha) and K20 (73.12 kg/ha) were also significant over the treatment T9 (N-48.27 kg/ha)p2o 5 (7.41 kg/ha) and K2o (48.85 kg/ha) respectively. The nutrient status determined in terms of available N, p2o 5, and K+O in kg/ha was significantly influenced by different drip irrigation and fertilizer management significantly highest fruit yield (87.20 q/ha) was recorded in drip irrigation at 100 EPR along application of 75 % Rd of N through drip irrigation over treatments.
