Effect Of Vermicompost On The Growth And Yield Of Chilli

Vermicompost is a by-product of earthworm mediated organic waste that contains nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, Sulphur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper and boron, the uptake of which has a positive effect on plant nutrition. The study was carried out to evaluate the growth and yield pattern of chilli by the application of different concentrations of vermicompost. Significant results were observed in growth parameters on 30th day, 45th day and 60th day. The yield was significantly higher in chilli plant treated with optimum concentration of vermicompost.
