Impact of chicken manure and lime on growth and yield of Chilli 

Tóm tắt

Chilli is one of the commercial high value crops in An Giang. It is called as the universal spice of Vietnam, since it is cultivated in almost all the districts. It is commercially important for the two qualities, the red colour due to the pigment capsanthin and the biting taste due to the chemical constituent capsaicin. Chilli crop requires a balanced fertilizer management without which growth and development of the crop will be impaired leading to substantial reduction not only in yield but also in the market appeal of the produce namely the colour and quality of the dry chilli. Hence, the present study was carried out to find out the effect of cow manure, lime and NPK along with various treatments on growth, yield and quality improvement of chilli. This study was found that growth and yield of chilli were significantly influenced by different treatment combinations. Among the treatments, application of 0,5 tons CaO/ ha + 2 tons chicken manune/ ha + NPK, which had the highest growth characters, were the plant height, number of tillers and leaves per plant. On the other hand, yield of chilli fresh that was 1.480 kg per 1.000 m2, had the highest value compared to other treatments. From the study it may be concluded that application of combined fertilizers recommended dose of organic and inorganic fertilizers along with liming 0,5 tons/ ha can help to increase the growth and yield of chilli.
