Effect of organics on the physico-chemical properties of soil after bell pepper cropping under shade house condition.

Field experiment was conducted to find out the effect of organics on the physico-chemical properties of soil after bell pepper cropping under shade house condition. Split plot design with three replications was adopted with two bell pepper varieties viz., California Wonder (V 1 ) and Gangavati Local (V 2 ) as main plot treatments and nine completely organic nutrient sources along with recommended package of practice nutrients and only recommended inorganic nutrients sources were used as sub plot treatments (O 1 to O 11 ). The results revealed that after two cropping seasons, in general, there was improvement in the soil physico-chemical properties in all the treatments wherever organics were the components of the treatments. The soils of O 5 [basal applications of N equivalent (150 kg/ha) through FYM 50 per cent and poultry manure 50 %] was found most superior in improving the physicochemical properties of the soil.
