Abstract

Plastic house experiment was conducted during the two successive seasons of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015, atorganic farm in El-Aiat district, Giza Governorate, Egypt.This study aims to evaluate the organic production of two hybrids of sweet (bell) pepper using different sources of organic fertilizers under plastic house conditions.Five sources of organic fertilizers (quail, turkey chicken, rabbit manures and compost)as recommended dose of nitrogen for sweet pepper were investigated on vegetative growth,nutritional content, yield component and fruit quality of twohybridsof sweet pepper (Bunjii red fruit and Shunghi yellow fruit).The experimental treatments were arranged in split plot design with three replicates, where two hybrids of sweet pepper treatments were adapted in the main plots while five types of organic fertilizers treatments were randomized in the subplots. Obtained results showed that using compost produced the highest values of plant height, N% of bell pepper plants, as well asthe maximum early, total yield and fruit length. Applying compost and chicken manure produced the highest values of fruit weight, total soluble sold and vitamin C content of pepper fruits. Compost, chicken and turkey manure treatments gave the maximum number of leaves per plant and chlorophyll reading of pepper leaves,percent of P and K in plants,fruit diameter and number of fruits /plant. There were no significant differences among all organic fertilizer treatments infirmness of pepper fruits. Generally, Bunjii hybridwas superior in the most of tested parameters compared to Shunghi hybrid of pepper.
