Abstract
Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most valuable cash crops in Sri Lanka. The purpose of the study was to develop a chilli growing domestic model by synergizing effects of growth media and fertilizers on the growth and yield performances. This experiment was carried out for chilli variety MICH 3 and the study was laid out using a randomized complete block design with two factors, namely, grow bag packages and fertilizers, with four replicates. The grow bag packages consisted of two levels, i.e., commercial coco peat grow bag and multilayer gunny bag, and fertilizers consisted of two levels, i.e. Albert’s fertilizer and compost tea. Both growing medias were characterized for desirable physical and chemical properties. Multilayer gunny bag showed significantly different (p<0.05) growth performance and higher yield compared to the commercial coco peat grow bag. Albert’s fertilizer resulted significantly best growth performance compared to compost tea. However, yield performances were similar in both fertilizers. The combination of multilayer gunny bag and compost tea can be recommended for chilli growing domestic model
