Effect of Foliar Application of Cow Urine on Yield and Nutrient Uptake by Byadgi chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)

A field experiment was carried out at farmer’s field of Agadi village) in Dharwad district during kharif seson of 2018 to investigate the “Yield and nutrient uptake by Byadgi chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) as influenced by foliar spray of cow urine in a Vertisol”. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design and replicated thrice. Experimental results revealed that, two foliar applications of 15 per cent cow urine each at 60 and 90 DAT recorded highest fruit yield (14.07 q ha-1) which was statistically at par with two foliar application ten per cent cow urine (13.06 q ha-1). Significantly lowest fruit yield was recorded in control with the corresponding value of 9.68 q ha-1. Significantly highest total nutrient uptake was recorded with two foliar application of 15 per cent cow urine each at 60 and 90 days after transplanting.
