Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out during November, 2020 to May, 2021 in shade net, Research field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design (RBD), with fifteen treatments replicated thrice with growing media (FYM + cocopeat + vermicompost + perlite + vermiculite) and application of biofertilizer (Azotobacter + PSB + Rhizobium) on variety (Arka Gaurav). On capsicum the treatments were used to find out the most suitable growing media and Biofertilizer for quality and growth of the capsicum. The results of the experiment have revealed that application of treatment of T₉ (cocopeat + vermicompost + perlite + vermiculate (1:1:1:1) + Azotobacter + PSB) has significantly increased the growth and yield parameters like plant height, number of branches, plant spread and yield parameters like days to first harvest, number of fruits per plant and maximum fruit yield. This study used to evaluate the effect of selected treatments on yield of capsicum. And the capsicum plants responded significantly to the growing media and biofertilizer supply.
