This book is covering the influence of jatropha oil cakes as
concentrated organic manure on vegetable crop green chillies.
Organic materials such as vermicompost, poultry manure, oilcakes,
green manures and crop residues can substitute inorganic
fertilizers to maintain productivity and environmental quality. Oil
cakes are concentrated organic manures. After the oil is extracted
from oil seeds, the remaining solid portion is dried as cake and as
organic manure. Jatropha cake one of the non edible oil cake serve
as a good source of organic manure especially for horticultural
crops, as these contain high amount of plant nutrients. The
jatropha oil cake cannot be used as animal feed, because of its
toxic principles or antifactors and hence can be used as organic
manure. Combined application of organic and inorganics manures
resulted better crop growth and quality parameters in green
chillies. Remarkably improvement in soil health (fertility) was
also observed. Therefore, application of 75 per cent jatropha oil
cake and 25 per cent RDF with three per cent foliar spray of
panchagavya was found to be the best suited management practice for
green chillies.
