Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out during November to May 2021-22 in Research field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with 08 treatments, replicated thrice with organic (FYM, Vermicompost, Poultry Manure) & Inorganic (NPK) on chilli. T₀ control [RND(RDF(150:60:80 Kg NPK)], T₁-100% RND through chemical fertilizer, T₂-100% RDF + 10t vermicompost, T₃-100% RDF + 5t poultry manure,T₄- 75% RDF + 25% through FYM, T₅-75% RDF + 25% through FYM,T₆-75% RDF + 25% through vermicompost, T₇-75% RDF + 25% through poultry manure, from the present experiment, it is found that Treatment 2 combination of 100% RDF + 10t vermicompost, was found best in terms of growth, yield and quality parameters of chilli, followed by T₆-75% RDF + 25% through vermicompost. In terms of benefit cost ratio T₂ (1:2.76) was found maximum Whereas minimum B:C ratio was recorded in T₀ (1:1.14) control [RND (RDF (150:60:80kg NPK)].
