Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of red chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) during 2015-16 at the Division of vegetable crops, Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, Hessaraghatta, Bangalore to determine the effect of different fertigation sources and mulching on growth parameters, yield and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE). Fertigation was done both water soluble fertilizers and normal fertilizers with different doses. The results revealed that significantly higher growth and yield parameters viz., plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, leaf area and leaf area index, number of fruits per plant, length of the fruit (cm), girth of the fruit (cm), fruit weight (g) dry fruit yield per plant (g), dry fruit yield per hectare (t) were observed by the treatments viz., application of water soluble fertilizers 100 per cent (Recommended dose of fertilizers) RDF using urea, 19:19:19 and KNO3 through fertigation with mulching, followed by Normal fertilizers 100 per cent RDF using Urea, DAP, MOP through fertigation with mulching. From this investigation it is concluded that water soluble fertilizers as well as normal fertilizers fertigation with mulching ideal for maximum growth and yield of the chilli crop.

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) crop is highly susceptible for the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and every year this nematode causes great loss to the crop. The present study investigated the cumulative effect of two biocontrol agents viz. Pasteuria penetrans and Paecilomyces lilacinus against M. incognita. Two doses of P. penetrans i.e. 50g/Kg and 100g/Kg infested soil were applied either alone or in combination with two doses of P. lilacinus i.e. 4g spore culture/Kg and 6g spore culture/Kg of soil. Application of P. penetrans with P. lilacinus resulted into relatively better improvement in various growth attributes of chilli when compared with the individual application. Amongst the various treatments tested combined application with the higher dose of both bioagents (i.e. 100g P. penetrans infested soil with 6g of P. lilacinus/Kg) showed maximum improvement in fresh and dry weight of shoot and root over the nematode check and it was almost at par with that of the absolute check. The combined application of both the bioagents at higher dose resulted in 139 and 84% increase in dry weight of shoot and root over the nematode check respectively. The combined application of both the bioagents was also observed to cause higher reduction in gall number and nematode population than their individual application except for the treatment having lower dose of the P. penetrans with P. lilacinus where reduction in both the parameters was observed to be at par with that of the either dose of P. penetrans or higher dose of P. lilacinus. Combined application with higher dose of P. penetrans and P. lilacinus showed maximum reduction of 62.6 and 82.2% in gall numbers and nematode population over the nematode check.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2019 at farmer’s field in Panruti near Cuddalore district (Tamil Nadu) to study effect of organic manures as INM component on growth, yield and quality of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) in a randomized block design. The treatments consisted of recommended dose of fertilizers at two levels (160:60:30 and 120:45:22.5 kg NPK ha-1) and organic manures (20 t FYM ha-1, 50 kg Bio ash ha-1, 5 t press mud granules ha-1, 20 kg Sea weed extract granules ha-1 and 5 t neem cake ha-1) and replicated three times. The growth and yield parameters of chilli were significantly influenced due to application of organic manures. Among the treatments, 75% RDF + 20 t FYM + 20 kg Sea weed extract granules + 5 t neem cake ha-1 (T8) exhibited better performances of growth and yield parameters of chilli cv. Indus 13. The maximum values of growth parameters such as plant height, leaves plant-1, branches plant-1, canopy volume, chlorophyll content in the leaves and net photosynthetic rate were observed in this treatment (T8). The yield parameters such as days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, flowers plant-1, fruit set, fruits plant-1, fruit length, fruit girth, pericarp thickness, pulp seed ratio, single fruit weight, total fruit yield (28.18 t ha-1) and quality parameters like capsaicin content (0.76%) and ascorbic acid content (171.3 mg g-1) were highest in this treatment (T8) suggested this is the best integrated nutrient management combination for chilli. Application of 100% RDF (160 : 30 : 30 kg ha-1) proved inferior in respect of growth and yield of chilli.

The study comparatively assess the enhancement of metal translocation to shoot edible part and overall growth effect in Capsicum annuum L. grown on tannery sludge ammended with three different chelants. A comparison between the effects of application of three chelants on the growth and metal accumulation in C. annuum L. grown on tannery sludge amended soil was conducted to assess the enhancement of the metal translocation to the shoots, edible part and the overall effect on the growth. The analysis of the results revealed that all the morphological parameters (except number of leaves), chlorophyll and protein contents increased in the plants by the addition of chelants in 25% tannery sludge (TS) after 120 d as compared to the plants grown on T (garden soil). The plants treated with nitriloacetic acid (NTA) have shown better growth than ethylediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid (CA) as compared with no addition of chelants. The accumulation of Cr in the leaves increased (72.03±6.03) by the addition of CA in 25% TS, in contrast to Ni and Cd after 120 d. Similarly, translocation of Cr and Zn increased in the edible part by the addition of EDTA, compared plants chelants. Comparison of Cr accumulation level in the leaves among three chelants, showed higher level in CA treated plants, whereas, Ni proved otherwise. However, in view of the higher translocation of Cr and Zn, it is advisable to grow plants on NTA alongwith 25% TS amended soil.

Potassium (K) fertilizer application, as a component of the improved technologies necessary to maximize crop yield and quality, is often used to correct the plant, soil and environmental factors that limit K availability. The effects of 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg K2O ha-1 were studied on hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L; Atarodovariety) in 2014 and 2015 on the Teaching and Research Farm, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti Nigeria in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates. Each K rate was mixed with 75 kg N and 25 kg P2O5 ha-1 and applied 2 weeks after transplanting 5-week old seedlings spaced 60 cm × 40 cm apart. The data of growth parameters were collected at 2 weeks after treatment (WAT) and fortnightly till 10 WAT, number and weight of ripe fruits and fruit proximate composition. The plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and dry matter increased with age and K rates to highest values at 10 WAT and 90 kg K2O ha-1 in both years. The number of fruits, fruit and seed yield ha-1, fruit size, fruit length and breadth and pericarp thickness increased linearly from the control to the highest values at 90 kg K2O ha-1.The number of fruits and yield at 90 kg K2O ha-1 were 1.253×106, 14.24 t ha-1; and 3.73×106, 14.94 t ha-1 in 2014 and 2015, respectively but the 60 kg K2O ha-1 gave the highest agronomic efficiency. The slight increase in fruit moisture content would not predispose fruits to deterioration while the crude protein and fat, carbohydrate and ash contents, vitamin C and mineral nutrients increased significantly making K application necessary to balance the fertilizer protocol for optimum hot pepper production.
