Studies on Nitrogen and Phosphorous Needs of Chilli

Abstract

Studies on nitrogen and phosphorus needs of irrigated chilli revealed that there was linear yield increase upto 150 kg of N application in the soil of low nitrogen status. without basal application of farm yard manure. With medium level of N in the soil and application of bulky organic manure the crop did not respond to applied N. There was no response for applied P in soil of high initial P status and P application could be dispensed with in such soils. Closer spacing (45 X 30 cm) gave higher yield than wider spacings (45 X 45 and 45 X 60 cm).
