Integrated Nutrient Management

The field experiment was conducted during 2007-2008 at the Experimental Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Medziphema Campus, Nagaland University, Nagaland to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of capsicum annum cv. California Wonder. The treatments supplementing nutrients through 100% organic manures were significantly inferior in producing fruit yield (151.73-182.96 q ha-1) than organic manures applied with chemical fertilizers (189.38-232.59 q ha-1). The maximum fruit yield (232.59 q ha-1) was recorded from the treatment of 50% NPK +50% poultry manure. N, P and K content in plants and fruits significantly increased either due to sole or combined application of organic manures and inorganic manures.
