Effect of organic fertilization on growth and yield of pepper plants (Capsicum annuum L.)

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of organic fertilization on growth, several physiological parameters and yield of pepper plants (‛Buketen 50'). The field experiment was carried out at the experimental field of the Agroecological Centre of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv (Bulgaria), which is certified as an ecological farm. For the purpose of the research, the bio-fertilizer Lumbrical, produced by the Californian earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus), was used. Just before planting, two levels of the bio-fertilizer were applied 50 and 100 ml per plant. Thirty days after planting, a part of the plants were additionally fed with a solution of Lumbrical (200 ml per plant). During plant vegetation some biometrical indices characterizing plant growth were measured. The content of the plastid pigments and the leaf gas exchange were taken into account. The fertility of the pollen of the flowers was determined. The total amount of pigments in the dried and ground red pepper was analyzed.

“…Actually Chl a is the primary photosynthetic pigment and Chl b is the accessory pigment that collects the energy to pass on to Chl a. The obtained results are in agreement with those of Berova et al, 2010; Chrysargyris and Tzortzakis, 2015.…”

A Comparative Study on the Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Agronomic Performance of Faba Bean (<i>Vicia faba</i> L.) and Pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.)

“…Its main objective of to create a balance between inter connected system of the soil organism, plants, animals and humans [7]. The choices of suitable forms of fertilizer of the crop growth of the plant are governed by local, natural condition and variation in soil and climate with regard to their suitability for crops cultivation [8].…”

Effect of Homemade Effective Microorganisms on the Growth and Yield of Chilli (<i>Capsicum annuum</i>) MI-2

“…Very less number of branches was observed for control compared to other treatments. According to Berova et al (2010) and Rorie et al (2011), the plants required high macronutrients (Nitrogen-N) during the initial growth, therefore the plants that gain high supply of N would increase the vegetative growth. The insufficient N availability could be the reason for less number of branches in control at 49 th day.…”
