Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the research farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh during
November 2016 to March 2017 to examine integrated nutrient management
practices on the growth and yield of sweet pepper. The experimental treatments

organic(120 kg N from cow dung). The experiment was laid out in Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The effects of nutrient
management practices were evident recorded significantly influenced on all
parameter. The tallest plant was produced in the T

treatment. The maximum
number of branch per plant, length of fruit, individual fruit weight were also
produced from the T
2
treatment. Fruit yield was varied significantly due to the
levels of different nitrogen with cow dung. The maximum fruit yield (20.00 t/ha)
was produced in the T
2
treatment. BARI Mistimorich 1 variety of sweet pepper
coupled with 100 kg N /ha from urea + 20kg N from cow dung and
recommended PKS was found to be a promising practice for good yield. This
result might be due to integrated nutrient management practices of fertilizers.
