Abstract: Geotextiles are textile like materials of natural product of eco-friendly and biodegradable in nature and act as useful ameliorative towards alleviating soil related constrains of crop production and improve soil structural performance. Application of suitable ameliorative thus necessitates for improving the growth of plant towards increasing the crop yield. In order to assess the effectiveness of various geotextiles on the improvement of growth of crop and enhancement of crop productivity, the present study has been undertaken. with five treatments combinations viz. T1 -non woven jute geotextile, T2 - non woven dry grasses geotextile, T3 - non woven coco coir geotextile, T4 - non woven banana leaf fibre geotextile and T5 - farmers practices (i.e. control). All geotextile materials @ 5 ton /ha were spread on the soil after final land preparation and before seedling or planting of capsicum. The results reveals that the jute fibre geotextile, dry grasses geotextile, coco coir geotextile, and banana leaf geotextile show much better performance than control (farmers practice) in respect of yields, yield attributes and growth parameters. Among the various geotextiles treatments, the jute fibre geotextile proves much superior performance for growth, yield and yield attributes of capsicum.
