Jalwa (BSS-414). Among seven different treatment combinations of fertilizer and different formulation of Biozyme, soil application of recommended dose of fertilizer (100:60:60 kg ha-1 NPK)+seedling treatment with Biozyme seed plus (10 ml l-1 water)+Biozyme vegetable granules as soil application (20 kg ha-1)+Biozyme mirchi liquid as foliar spraying (500 ml ha-1) was found to be the best in terms of growth, yield (9.77 t ha-1) and quality (121.28 mg 100 g-1 ascorbic acid) of chilli with higher benefit:cost ratio (2.19). Total chlorophyll content of green chilli was maximum (0.1643 mg g-1) in recommended dose of fertilizer (100:60:60 kg ha-1 NPK)+seedling treatment with Biozyme seed plus (10 ml l-1 water)+Biozyme mirchi liquid as foliar spraying (500 ml ha-1).
