Abstracts |
An experiment was conducted during kharif 2002/03 in Dharwad, Karnataka, India, to study the effect of micronutrients and organic amendments on the growth, seed yield and quality of chilli (Capsicum annuum) seeds. The treatments comprised: 25 kg ZnSO4/ha (T1); 0.1% ZnSO4 (T2); 10 kg borax/ha (T3); 0.1% borax (T4); 10 kg MgSO4/ha (T5); 0.1% MgSO4 (T6); 10 kg S/ha (T7); 2.5 kg mycorrhiza/ha (T8); 2.5 t vermicompost/ha (T9); 10 t farmyard manure/ha (T10); and 150:75:75 kg NPK/ha (RDF; control). T1 gave the highest 1000-seed weight. T2 gave the highest plant height, number of branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit set percentage, germination percentage and vigour index. T7 gave the highest electrical conductivity of seed leachate (0.911) while T9 gave the highest fruit length, fruit diameter, dry fruit yield, number of seeds per fruit, seed yield, seed recovery and seedling dry weight. |
