Abstract

Pot experiment was conducted to study influence of vermicompost, cow dung and urea on the growth, yield and quality of chilli.The experiment was conducted with three treatments viz vermicompost, cow dung and urea, along with control. The growth and yield parameters were found to be better due to vermicompost treatment with higher values for plant height (47.06cm), weight of the fruits (8.33gm), number of fruits (30), stem diameter (1.16cm) and dry matter yield (35.24gm).
