Abstract
Bell pepper is a highly priced and choice vegetable, providing rich source of vitamin A, B and C. It is largely grown around urban centre and is often sold at a premium price compared to other vegetables. The crop responds to various biotic and abiotic factors, of which the growth environment and requisite nutrient supplementation are of foremost importance. The nutrient requirement can be met through chemical fertilizers, organic manures and biofertilizers which constitute the main sources of plant nutrients. However, in order to trigger off production, indiscriminate use of chemicals has been observed in many parts of the country which has questioned the nutritional security of the crop and also its adverse impact on the environment. The long term sustainable production of the crop thus needs balanced supply of essential plant nutrients in available form, which involves systematic exploitation of potential soil resources, chemical fertilizers, biofertilizers and organic manures. The use of organic manures was suggested a long time in capsicum and the efficiency of FYM, vermicompost, green manures, compost etc. are established, as its application triggers the microbial activity and results in increased mineralization of soil nutrients. There is also a positive response of crops to biofertilizer application. Nevertheless, there appears to be a degree of inconsistency of results depending upon the type of inoculants used, agro-climatic condition, method of inoculation, interaction between strains, nutrient interaction etc. It is this inconsistency of crop response which poses a problem in the popular use of Biofertilizers which needs to be tackled and their use perfected for their regular application. It is evident that capsicum responds to incorporated plant nutrients in terms of growth, yield and quality. But very few inquisitions have been carried out to determine the exact effect of individual plant nutrient sources and their combination with Biofertilizers. It was therefore felt necessary to investigate the effect of different sources of manuring on growth yield and quality of capsicum under low cost poly-house conditions. The results thus obtained in this regard as presented in previous chapter are discussed in the light of available literature and evidence as follows.
