Abstract:
A study was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka to find out the effect of cowdung and vermicompost on growth
and yield of chilli. The experiment consisted of two factors Factor A: Different
levels of cowdung such as C
0
: 0 t ha
-1
, C
1
: 10 t ha
-1
, C
2
: 15 t ha
-1
and C
;
Factor B: Different levels of vermicompost such as V
0
: 0 t ha
-1
, V
1
: 5 t ha
: 7
t ha
-1
. The two factors experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block
Design with three replications. In case of different levels of cowdung, the highest
number of fruits per plant
, while
the lowest number of fruits per plant
. For
different levels of vermicompost, the highest number of fruits per plant
, whereas the lowest number of fruits per
plant
1
. Due to interaction effect, the highest
number of fruits per plant
0
whereas the lowest number of fruits per plant
0
V
From growth and yield point of view, it is apparent that the combination
of15t/ha cowdung and 5t/ha vermicompost was suitable for chilli cultivation.
