Abstract
The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of bio stimulants on growth and yield of green chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) with nine treatments replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design. Four different bio stimulants were used in this experiment i.e., yeast hydrolysate @ 3, 5, 7.5 ml/l; gluconates @ 3, 5, 7.5 ml/l; humic acid @ 4 ml/l and seaweed extract @ 5 ml/l. The results revealed that yeast hydrolysate @ 7.5 ml/l was found more effective in increasing the plant height, stem girth, leaf length, leaf width, number of branches and yield of green chilli.
