Influence of the process of integrated management of nutrients on the overall growth and yield of Capsicum plants

To investigate the impact of integrated nutrient management on the development and production of capsicum cv. Santa, a field experiment was carried out between 2022 and 2023 at the Experimental Farm of Doon (P.G) College of Agriculture Sciences and Technology, Dehradun . The fruit yield (32 18 t/ha) of the treatments using 100% chemical fertilisers, such as RDF, was noticeably lower than that of organic manures (vermicompost and farm yard manure), treated with chemical fertilisers (RDF).The treatments using RDF and basal applications of vermicompost outperformed those using RDF and basal applications of farmyard manures in terms of yield performance. Additionally, it can be shown that the split application of organic manures as top dressing produced much lower yields than the basal treatment. The best results were seen in terms of growth, including plant height (65 21cm), number of leaves (104 47), number of branches per plant (11 14), leaf area (108 32cm2), yield (52 5t/ha), and is significantly different from all other treatments.
