Effect Of Potting Mixture On Growth And Yield Of Chilli Varieties (Capsicum Spp) And Microbial Activity

Abstract: The study was carried out as pot experiments using a Green Chilli variety, MI 2, and a Curry Chilli variety, Hungarian Yellow Wax (HYW) at the research field, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna. The basal soil mixture was prepared using coir dust, sand, soil and cow-dong (1:1:1 control). Four different potting mixtures were prepared by adding tea waste, compost and inorganic fertilizer. The experiment was carried out according to complete randomized block design with four replicates at the rate of 8 … Show more

“…The average extent under green chilli was around 8,218 ha and the annual production of chilli in Sri Lanka was 50,717 Mt in 2015/2016 Maha season [Department of Census and Statistics, 2016]. Currently in Sri Lanka, chilli production is generally depending on the inorganic fertilizer however chilli production using organic manures is also timely required due to the problems associated with inorganic fertilizer [Dahanayake et al, 2012]. Appropriate quantities of the available organic and inorganic sources should be integrated to develop the best combination of the both fertilizers for accomplishing quantity and quality in chilli [Rani et al, 2015].…”

“…These substances kill insects, diseases and/or prevent their easy access to plants which promote the ability of plants to sprout (Sangdee et al, 2011). In addition, chilli planting phase and environmental factors can affect seed germination and growth of plants (Datta et al, 2011;Dahanayake et al, 2012; Rajamanickam and Sethuraman, . Morphological characters in the chilli genotypes varied significantly between all lines of chilli.…”
