The effect of organic fertilisers and foliar sprays of amino acid on vegetative growth, fruit yield, chemical composition, and capsaicin content of hot pepper (Capsicum annum L var. Minimum) plants was studied in a private farm in Samannoud district, El-Gharbia Governorate, Egypt, over two seasons in 2017 and 2018. At rates of 60 and 30 N-units per fed, the experiment included 13 treatments made from cattle manure. In addition to the treatment of NPK at recommended dose as a control, chicken fertiliser at rates of 60 and 30 N-units per fed was combined with amino acid at 0, 100, and 200 ppm, as well as chicken fertiliser at rates of 60 and 30 N-units per fed was combined with amino acid at 0, 100, and 200 ppm. A three-replicate total randomised block design was used.
The obtained results revealed that plants treated with cattle manure full dose + 200 ppm amino acids had the highest values for vegetative growth parameters, fruit yield, chemical composition, and capsaicin content, followed by plants treated with chicken manure full dose + 200 ppm amino acids. When applied to organic fertilisation, whether cow manure or chicken fertiliser, at a concentration of 100 or 200 ppm, amino acids had a significant impact. Based on the previous findings, spraying amino acids (glycine and glutamine) at a rate of 200 ppm in combination with organic fertilisers at a rate of 60 nitrogen units per feddan may result in the highest fruit yield, Vitamin C, and capsaicin content of hot peppers.
