Abstract

Background: Capsicum annuum L. belongs to the family Solanaceae is primarily used as a spicy vegetable and as a minor ingredient in wide variety of cuisines, dishes, spice blends and sauces. The current study was dealt with the comparison of morphology of vegetative and reproductive parts and ethno botanical and pharmacological importance of Capsicum annuum L. var. Annuum and Capsicum annuum L. var. Frutescens. Both are shrubby herbs which have an average height ranging between 60-75 cm. Methods: The study materials (flowers, fruits and seeds) were collected from each ten plants of the two varieties of Capsicum annuum L. (Capsicum annuum L. var. Annuum and Capsicum annuum L. var. Frutescens) based on their fruit setting. Result: The results clearly showed the morphological similarities and differences present in terms of nature and arrangement of leaves, flowers and fruits and a short review of their ethno botanical and pharmacological properties.

2. The influence of coir waste and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield of bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.)

Author

Joseph, Rita and Kalpana, C. V.

Abstract

To evaluate the relative efficiency of coirpith as an organic manuresubstitute in combination with various levels of inorganic fertilizers, a pot culture experiment was conducted with bhendi as the test crop in red soil. Bhendi, a green pod vegetable, is an economically important crop which is a common source of vitamins, proteins and minerals. In comparison with the control, the application of composted coirpith at the rate of 15 t ha -1 with the recommended dose of NPK and the application of composted coirpith at the rate of 12.5 tha -1 with N 5 kg ha -1 and 100% P and K significantly enhanced biometric parameters, such as plant height, root volume, plant fresh weight and plant dry weight, and yield parameters, such as number of pods per plant, length of pods, fresh weight of pods and circumference of pods.
