The study looked at how different amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers affected the yield of chilli plants in a specific region in Maharashtra. They found that using 150 kg of nitrogen and 37.5 kg of phosphorus per hectare resulted in the highest yield of dry chillies. This was similar to using 200 kg of nitrogen and 50 kg of phosphorus per hectare. The spacing between plants and the interaction between spacing and fertilizer did not have a significant impact on the yield. Overall, the best combination for high yield and good plant growth was found to be 200 kg of nitrogen and 50 kg of phosphorus per hectare.
