INFLUENCE OF MANURES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF FIVE CHILLI GERMPLASM

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the period from September 2015 to January 2016. The experiment was consisted of two factors: Factor A: Five germplasm of chili viz; G 1 : Tree chili, G 2 : Surjomukhi, G : Bullet, G 4 : Agni, G 5 : Cayenee. Factor B : 4 levels of manure viz; O : No manure (control), O 1 : Cowdung 10 t ha -1 , O 2 : Vermicompost 5 t ha : Mustard oil cake 2 t ha -1 . There were 20 treatment combinations. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. In different germplasm the maximum vitamin C content (149.96 mg/100g), capsaicin content (1.64 %), yield ha -1 (14.51 t/ha) were recorded from G 5 and the minimum results were recorded from G . Due to different manures application, the maximum yield ha -1 1 (8.43 t/ha) were recorded from O

but the maximum vitamin C content (128.27 mg/100 g) and maximum capsaicin content (1.23 %) were recorded from the O and minimum data were recorded from O 0 3 . For interaction effect, the maximum yield ha (17.06 t/ha) were recorded from G 5 O but the maximum vitamin C content (161.33 mg /100 g) and maximum capsaicin content (1.83 %) were recorded from G 2 . Minimum capsaicin content (0.70 %), minimum yield ha -1 (1.16 t/ha) were recorded from G 1 O and minimum vitamin C content (92.50 mg /100 g) was obtained from G 1 0 O . In this experiment the Cayenee germplasm and vermicompost performed the best results in maximum parameters.
