EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZERS ON CAPSICUM ANNUUM L.

Abstract

Capsicum annuum L. is also known as the universal spice of India since it is grown in many regions of the country. It has high commercial value because of its two principle characteristics such as pungency and color due to the chemical constituents like Capsaicin and Capsanthin respectively. Balanced nutrients are mandatory for better quality and quantity of the chilli crop production. In the present study, plant of Capsicum annuum L. was treated with four different organic and inorganic fertilizers. The morphological features were evaluated during the experiment and soil analysis was carried out to evaluate the changes in the nutrient content of the soil.
