Performance of King Chilli (Capsicum chinense)

A field experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of SASRD, Medziphema, Nagaland University during march to September 2012 to evaluate the integrated effect of chemical fertilizers, organic manures, biofertilizers and lime on growth, yield, quality and economics of king chilli in acid soil and the effect of integrated nutrient management on soil properties after harvest under Nagaland condition. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications having 13 treatments, viz. T1 Control, T2 50%NPK + Lime, T3 50%NPK, T4 100%NPK + Lime, T5 100%NPK, T6 100%NPK + 15 t FYM + biofertilizer + lime, T7 50% NPK + 15 t FYM + biofertilizer + lime, T8 50%NPK + 15t FYM + lime, T9 50%NPK + 15tFYM, T10 100%NPK + 15t FYM + lime, T11 100% NPK + 15t FYM, T12 50% NPK + biofertilizer, T13 100% NPK + biofertilizer. The observations revealed that integrated application of chemical fertilizers, organic manures, biofertilizers (PSB) and lime significantly increase growth, yield and quality characters as compared to control.
