Study of Hot Pepper Yield under Two Organic Fertilizers (Hot Compost and Vermicompost) at Two Dose Levels (7.5 t/ha and 15 t/ha) at Coronel
- The trial compared hot compost and vermicompost at 7.5 and 15 tonnes per hectare with a control, in five treatments and three repetitions on 300 square meters.
- Hot compost at 7.5 tonnes per hectare gave the highest extrapolated yield, 6,396.67 kilograms per hectare, compared with 3,940 for the control.
- The analysis of variance found no significant difference in yield between treatments, with p = 0.1175.
- The coefficient of variation of 23.24 percent makes the precision of the field results only fair.
- The author finds the 7.5 tonne dose of hot compost preferable economically, while the higher doses improve soil characteristics.
The trial was run in a randomized complete block design with five treatments and three repetitions on 300 square meters at Coronel, in the first communal section of Milot. It compares hot compost and vermicompost at 7.5 and 15 tonnes per hectare with a control, on plant vigor, height, leaves, fruit number and weight, and yield.
Hot compost at 7.5 tonnes per hectare gave the highest extrapolated yield, 6,396.67 kilograms per hectare compared with 3,940 for the control, and the highest profit. The analysis of variance found no significant difference between treatments for yield (p = 0.1175), and the coefficient of variation of 23.24 percent makes the precision of the trial only fair. The higher doses improved soil characteristics.
