Abstract:
The present research “To Study of The Combined Effect of Nano Urea with Biofertilizer on Growth Yield Attributes of Capsicum annum L. Var. Arka Mohini.” aimed to unravel the synergistic impact of combining nano urea with biofertilizer on the growth and yield attributes of Capsicum annum, commonly known as capsicum or bell pepper. The field experiment was carried out at the Crop Research Canter (CRC-2) School of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture ITM University, Gwalior (MP). The study was held in the Rabi season (2022-2023) from the second week of September to mid of January. Considering the escalating global demand for sustainable agricultural practices, the study explores innovative methods to enhance crop productivity while minimizing environmental footprint. Through a meticulous experimental design and comprehensive analysis, this research establishes a comprehensive understanding of the potential benefits that arise from the interaction between nano urea and biofertilizer with different doses of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) and Potassium Solubilizing Bacteria (KSB) significantly influenced the growth and yield of chili. In the present study, treatment T₁₅ (25% RDF + KSB + PSB + 0.5% NU) was found to be the best treatment for both 30 and 60 minutes among all the 16 Treatments and it gave the maximum growth, yield, and economic parameters, whereas the minimum growth, yield, and economic parameters were recorded in Treatment T₀ (Control).
