In areas where coffee is growing, there is a huge potential to get coffee pulp, which produces a bad odor and air and water pollution. On the other hand, the farming practice in the study area is still traditional and highly dependent on artificial fertilizers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the direct and residual effects of vermicompost on the vegetative and reproductive growth of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Factorial research was conducted in a randomized complete block design, where coffee pulp, animal waste, and Eisenia fetida and Dendrobaena veneta earthworms were used to produce coffee pulp vermicompost. The first factor was three types of vermicompost: coffee pulp Eisenia fetida vermicompost (CEV), coffee pulp Dendrobaena veneta vermicompost (CDV), and a combination of coffee pulp Eisenia fetida and Dendrobaena veneta vermicompost (CEV_CDV), and the second factor was three application rates (5 t/ha, 10 t/ha, and 15 t/ha) and a control treatment with three replications. Reproductive and vegetative growth parameters (number of leaves, number of fruits, single fruit length, total biomass weight, days to 50% flowering, and yield per hectare) were collected in two consecutive cropping seasons. The collected data were analyzed using R Statistical software. The results recorded in the direct application of 15 t/ha CEV were profoundly higher ( P < 0.05), followed by the combined effects of both worms with an application rate of 15 t/ha. Generally, the three-way interaction effect of a media type, the application effect, and the application rate interaction effect were highly significant ( P < 0.05) for the number of leaves per plant, the number of fruits per plant, and yield per hectare. The media type and the application rate interaction effect showed a significant ( P < 0.05) difference in days to 50% flowering, fruit length, and fresh biomass weight. Likewise, the combined effect of the media type and application was statistically ( P < 0.01) different in biomass weight and fruit length. In addition to reducing water and air pollution, utilizing coffee pulp vermicompost enhances soil fertility and hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) productivity.

“…This result is in coherence with Adhikari et al [ 76 ], who explored that the maximum number of hot pepper fruits was observed using vermicompost than other growth media compositions. Nawrin et al [ 85 ] also reported that higher fruits per plant were recorded by applying 0.5 kg per hectare boron and 5 ton per hectare vermicompost. Mkhabela et al [ 43 ] found a similar result when they looked at how much more fruit was produced using vermicompost compared to other organic amendments.…”

The high production potential of coffee and animals in the Gedeo zone that could produce huge amounts of coffee pulp and animal manure wastes has been polluting the environment. In this sense, this study was aimed at averting pollution and managing plant and animal wastes, focusing on the effect of coffee pulp and animal manure in the form of vermicompost, biochar, and ordinary compost on hot pepper vegetative and reproductive growth. A 15 ton per hectare of each treatment was applied in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Vegetative and reproductive growth parameters (plant height, leaf number, number of branches, days to 50% flowering, total fresh biomass, number of fruits per plant, single fruit length, and fruit yield per hectare) were recorded, and the statistical difference was determined at 5% significance level using R-program. The result showed that there was a significant difference among treatments. Coffee pulp vermicompost prepared using Eisenia fetida earthworm had significantly ( P < 0.05 ) higher results in plant height, leaf number, number of branches, total fresh biomass, number of fruits per plant, single fruit length, and total yield, while the minimum values were recorded in topsoil (control treatment) and animal manure compost. The direct and residual effects of vermicompost and biochar organic amendments were the potential organic fertilizers for hot pepper fast growth and to produce enormous yield, which might be due to their nature in improving soil physicochemical and biological properties as well as nutrient uptake.

“…Khan et al [20] who reported that "number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit weight plant -1 , yield t/ha 1000 seed weight were recorded maximum in the plot to which received zinc @ of 3 kg per hectares. It is concluded from the results that foliar application of boron and zinc should be used @ of 3 kg per hectares for better chilli production in the agroclimatic conditions of Swat" [21][22][23][24]. Combined effect of mulch materials and foliar application of micronutrients significantly influenced by individual fruit weight per plant (Table 5).…”

The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different mulch materials and foliar application of micronutrients on growth and yield of sweet pepper under net house. The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Three mulch materials viz., M0-No mulch (control), M2-Black polyethylene mulch and M2-Rice straw mulch and Factor B: Three foliar application of micronutrients viz., N0-control (No micronutrients), N1-Zn @0.6% as ZnSO4 and N2-B @0.6% as H3BO3. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were recorded on growth, yield components, yield and quality of sweet pepper and significant variation was observed for most of the studied characters. Analysis revealed that the M2N2 treatment combination appeared to be best for achieving the higher growth, fruit yield and economic benefit of sweet pepper.
