Effect Of Vermicompost On Biochemical Parameters Of Chilli Plant, Capsicum Annuuml.

Earthworms play an important role in agriculture. Vermicompost contains various plant nutrients that help soil in maintaining the productivity. The present study is to evaluate the biochemical constituents such as chlorophyll, protein and carbohydrate at different stages of growth of chilli plant (Capsicum annuum L.) on application of different doses of vermicompost. Chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll was significantly higher on 30th day in T4, but on 45th and 60th day, the chlorophyll contents were higher in T3. The protein and carbohydrate content tested were found to be significantly higher in T3 on all the days tested.
