ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic liquid formulations on growth and yield of capsicum at Agricultural Research Station, Arsikere, Karnataka. India. There were 12 treatment combinations consisting of three factors viz., Jeevamrutha (2 levels), Cow urine (2 levels) and Panchagavya (3 levels). Among different organic liquid formulations, application of jeevamrutha recorded significantly higher fruit yield (32.26, 39.55, 51.63, 121.20, 100.28, 86.40, 50.05 q ha-1 at 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 DAT, respectively), shelf life (19.06 days) and capsaicin (0.35 %). Significantly higher fruit yield (30.76, 38.0, 48.52, 117.73, 97.15, 84.33, 48.44 q ha-1 at 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 DAT, respectively), shelf life (17.72 days) and capsaicin (0.33 %) were recorded with the application of cow urine. Panchagavya 6 per cent spray recorded significantly higher fruit yield (30.25, 37.49, 48.91, 118.91, 96.15, 86.29, 47.81 q ha-1 at 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 DAT, respectively), shelf life (18.58 days) and capsaicin (0.32 %).
Key words: Liquid formulation, Panchagavya, Jeevamrutha, Cow urine, Capsicum, Shelf life.
