The experiment was carried out at Vegetable Experimental Farm, SKUAST-K Shalimar Campus to find out the effect of different organic manures and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of chilli var. Kashmir Long-1. The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with ten treatments viz. 100% FYM, 100% poultry manure, 100% vermicompost, 100% mustard cake, 75% FYM + biofertilizers, 75% poultry manure + biofertilizers, 75% vermicompost + biofertlizers, 75% mustard cake + biofertilizers, 100% biofertilizers and absolute control which were replicated three times. The investigation revealed that the treatment T7 (75% vermicompost + biofertilizer) recorded minimum number of days to first flowering (30.15), days to first fruit set (37.90), days to 50% colour development (89.07) and days to first fruit maturity (96.38) whereas, treatment. Moreover, treatment T7 (75% vermicompost + biofertilizer) recorded higher values for plant height (52.55 cm), plant spread (47.76cm) and number of branches plant-1 (8.43) whereas minimum values for plant height (30.24 cm), plant spread (3.18 cm) and number of branches plant-1 (3.47) were recorded by treatment T10 (absolute control). The yield parameters like the number of fruits plant-1 (54.39), fruit length (10.30cm) , fruit girth (1.76cm), average fruit weight (7.43g), fruit yield plant-1 (404.47g), fruit yield hectare-1 (149.68 q) were recorded maximum in treatmentT7 (75% vermicompost + biofertilizer). Treatment T10 (absolute control) recorded minimum values for various yield parameters.
