Location: UAS, Dharwad Karnataka, India
Date of Observation: 06/07/2023
Background:
To evaluate the effect of foliar application of Suphala (All-in-One) on growth, yield, and pest incidence in chilli cultivation.
Vegetative Parameters: • Significant increase in plant height was observed
• Plant spread and number of branches were also higher showing robust vegetative growth.
Yield Parameters: •recorded the highest number of fruits per plant and fresh fruit weight per plant.
• Over 40% yield increase was observed compared to control.
• yielded comparable results, establishing it as the optimum treatment considering cost-benefit ratio.
Pest and Disease Incidence: • showed moderately low incidence of thrips, mites, and fruit borers.
• Flower thrips were controlled across all treatments, with slightly better resistance in Sufala-treated plots.
Conclusion:
The study clearly demonstrates that foliar application of Sufala (All-in-One) offers an optimal balance of yield, plant health, and cost-effectiveness in chilli cultivation. This treatment not only led to higher growth and yield but also helped manage common pests more effectively.
