Abstract
The effect of different locally available organic sources of nutrients in hot pepper production was investigated. Results showed that organic nutrient sources used in the study could meet the needs of hot pepper production and can be used as an alternative option for organic farmers. The effects of various treatments on hot pepper growth and yield were significantly influenced. The findings improved growth and yield performance; by Vermicompost (T4) application at 10 t ha-1 (P=<0.01), resulting in the best overall behavior in all of the plants; Growth performance, the number of days to flower, fruit yield, total yield per treatment, projected yield per hectare, and the highest net income of 623,710.5 Pesos with 702.46 ROI and followed by combustion ash fertilizer (T2) and goat manure (T3) over control treatments were applied at 10 t ha-1 which was an excellent alternative source of organic fertilizers with 589.60 ROI and 499.00 ROI, respectively. Applying vermicompost, combustion ash fertilizer and goat manure at 10 t ha-1 are shown to be the best for hot pepper production.
