Abstract
Ensuring food security and maintaining environmental health are driving
a substantial revolution in India's agriculture. The semi-arid region of North
Gujarat is known for its intense vegetable farming and is confronting serious
problems including decreasing soil fertility, over-use of chemicals, and lower
crop quality. As a result, chemical-intensive farming is losing ground to more
sustainable agricultural methods like organic and integrated nutrition
management. Soil health, nutrient cycling, and crop resilience are all improved
by the use of natural inputs in organic farming, which include compost,
biofertilizers, and microbial inoculants. But compared to conventional farming,
the nutritional sufficiency and output potential of completely organic systems
are still up for debate. Chemical fertilisers, on the other hand, boost
production but are often linked to environmental damage and toxicity that
lingers after application. North Gujarat is home to a large chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) vegetable production, and this research set
out to compare the results of using organic, inorganic, and integrated
fertiliser treatments on this crop. In order to find effective and sustainable
methods of vegetable production, we set out to determine the effects of various
nutrient sources on growth metrics, yield characteristics, and quality
qualities. The results should help in creating agricultural systems that are
better suited to the area, which are more robust, high-quality, and
ecologically friendly.
