Organic Agriculture is a holistic way of farming besides production of high quality promoters without any agrochemicals. Biofertilizers (i.e), living organisms used in the fertilization of soil and are useful in supplementing the usual application of chemical nitrogen fertilizers and help in enriching the soil. Vermicompost is blackish-brown humus like coarse granular material having electrically charged particles meant for improved adsorption of plant nutrients in the soil. The organic carbon in vermicompost releases the nutrients slowly and steadily into the system and enables the plant to absorb these nutrients. The present investigation is undertaken to study the effect of individual and combined application of biofertilizers, inorganic fertilizer and vermicompost on the biochemical constituents of chilli (NS- 1701).
