Pepper response to organic and biofertilizers under plastic house conditions
2011
Mohammed, S.M.M.
Two experiments were carried out during two successive seasons of 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 at Kaha Experimental Station, Kaluobia Governorate, Horticultural Research Institute on pepper plants cv Sonar, F1. The experiment was carried out to evaluate between 2 m. /540 m. chicken manure and 1, 2 , 3 m. /540 m. of compost with or without effective micro organisms and Enciabein .vegetative growth parameters, early and total yields ,fruit physical properties and fruit chemical properties were taken blace in this experiment. Applying 3m. of compost /540 m. gave significantly the highest values of plant height, number of branches and leaves, total leaf area, fresh and dry weight of leaves and stem per plant as well as early and total yield! M. , fruit weight and ascorbic acid (Vit. C).No significant effect was determined by organic fertilizers on plant height in the second sample of the first season and in the first and second samples in the second season as well as number of branches in the second sample in the second season, weight of early yield, total fruits number in the second season, dry matter percentage, flesh thickness, and T.S.S of fruit in both seasons. Application of EM significantly gave the highest values of vegetative growth characters, which lead to increase early and total yield as well fruit quality while, Enciabein effect came to the second order conserning those cherecteristics in both seasons. The highest total yields of fruits were obtained with application the combined of 3 m. compost with EM followed by 2 m. of compost plus EM .the increment were 98% and 73%, respectively in the first season and 67% and 50%, respectively in the second seasons as comparing with applying 2 m. chicken manure alone. Inoculation organic fertilizers (chicken manures or compost at different levels) with EM reduced nitrate accumulation in pepper fruits.
