Description A field experiment was conducted at the Main Agricultural Research Station,
University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad on a Vertisol to study the effect of FYM and
fermented liquid manures on yield and quality of chilli during kharif 2007. The experiment
consisted of 12 treatment combinations with two factors; factor one consisting of manures
(FYM equivalent to RDN (M1), RDF (M2) and FYM equivalent to RDN+RDFYM (M3)) and
the factor two liquid manures (Beejamrut + Jeevamrut (L1), Panchagavya (L2), Beejamrut +
Jeevamrut + Panchagavya (L3) and Control (L4). The treatments were replicated thrice and
experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design.
Application of manures and liquid manures recorded significantly higher growth,
yield and quality parameters of chilli. Treatment M2 recorded significantly higher dry chilli
yield (8.33 q/ha) over rest of the manures. Among liquid manures, treatments L3 and L2
recorded significantly higher dry chilli yield (8.52 and 8.01 q/ha, respectively) over control
(6.40 q/ha), the values for growth and other yield components were also significantly higher
in these treatments. Treatments M3 and M1 recorded higher quality parameters Viz., ascorbic
acid content, oleoresin and colour value by 14.43: 9.19, 8.40: 5.33 and 14.18: 11.77 per cent,
respectively over M2. Among liquid manures, L3 and L2 recorded higher ascorbic acid,
oleoresin and colour value by 8.02: 6.74, 7.89: 7.00 and 8.25: 7.17 per cent, respectively over
control (121.89 mg/100g, 203.01 ASTA units and 301.71 ASTA units, respectively).
A significantly higher dehydrogenase activity, available macro (N, P and K) and
micronutrients (Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn) were recorded with M3 and M1. Dehydrogenase activity
was also found to be significantly greater with liquid manures. Greater uptake of nutrients
was recorded with M2. However, M2 and L3 recorded significantly higher yield, net returns
and B: C ratio.
