Abstract:
The experiment was conducted in the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the period from
September 2015 to January 2016. The experiment was consisted of two factors:
Factor A: Five germplasm of chili viz; G
1
: Tree chili, G
2
: Surjomukhi, G
:
Bullet, G
4
: Agni, G
5
: Cayenee. Factor B : 4 levels of manure viz; O
: No
manure (control), O
1
: Cowdung 10 t ha
-1
, O
2
: Vermicompost 5 t ha
:
Mustard oil cake 2 t ha
-1
. There were 20 treatment combinations. The
experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three
replications. In different germplasm the maximum vitamin C content (149.96
mg/100g), capsaicin content (1.64 %), yield ha
-1
(14.51 t/ha) were recorded
from G
5
and the minimum results were recorded from G
. Due to different
manures application, the maximum yield ha
-1
1
(8.43 t/ha) were recorded from O
but the maximum vitamin C content (128.27 mg/100 g) and maximum
capsaicin content (1.23 %) were recorded from the O
and minimum data were
recorded from O
0
3
. For interaction effect, the maximum yield ha
(17.06 t/ha)
were recorded from G
5
O
but the maximum vitamin C content (161.33 mg /100
g) and maximum capsaicin content (1.83 %) were recorded from G
2
.
Minimum capsaicin content (0.70 %), minimum yield ha
-1
(1.16 t/ha) were
recorded from G
1
O
and minimum vitamin C content (92.50 mg /100 g) was
obtained from G
1
0
O
. In this experiment the Cayenee germplasm and
vermicompost performed the best results in maximum parameters.
