Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during November, 2016 to March, 2017 to study the effect of organic inputs and microbial consortium on growth, yield and quality of Chilli (Capsicum annuum var. accuminatum) as well as soil properties. The experiment was laid out with Randomized Block Design and replicated three times. There were seven treatments consisting of T1 [RDF (120:60:60 kg ha-1 NPK + FYM @ 10 t ha-1)], T2 (Compost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + microbial consortium), T3 (Compost @ 5 t ha-1+ microbial consortium), T4 (Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + microbial consortium), T5 (Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 + microbial consortium), T6 (Enriched compost @ 2.5 t ha-1) and T7 (Enriched compost @ 5 t ha-1). The results revealed that growth characters were significantly influenced by the application of different nutrient sources. T1 recorded the highest value in all the growth, yield and yield attributing characters among all the treatments. Among the quality parameters, the organic treatments recorded superior results when compared to inorganic treatments. However, soil parameter studies revealed that soil organic carbon, N, P, K were found highest in T7.
