Abstract

Chilli (Capsicumm annum L.) is one of the important spice and vegetable crop grown in India and World. Hence, the present trial was conducted during 2014-15 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Jhabua (RVSKVV – Gwalior) – 457661 Madhya Pradesh, with a view to assess the bio-efficacy of Vitormone (Azotobactor chroococcum) on chilli hybrid. Vitormone study was undertaken at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ml/L along with 100% NPK (RDF) and 75% N and 100% PK at KVK Jhabua. Results obtained revealed that spraying of Vitormone @ 2.0 ml/L along with recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) at 35, 55 and 75 days after transplanting significantly increase in plant height (19.77%), number of branches/plant (80.0%), fruit length (81.52%), number of fruits/plant (51.12%) and yield by 43.24% over control and by 4.44% more over RDF. Likewise, spraying of Vitormone @ 2.0 ml/L did not show any phytotoxic effect on chilli crop.
