Application Rates
For commercial chili and capsicum cultivation, apply 400 to 500 kg of Vermicompost per Bigha. Proper application feeds the continuous harvest cycle of picking ripe chilies over several months.
When to Apply
Apply during transplanting and again just before the flowering stage (approx. 45 days).
Step-by-Step Application Guide
Pit Preparation
Add one handful (approx. 50g) of vermicompost directly into each planting hole.
Transplanting
Plant the chili seedlings and cover with fine soil.
Top Dressing
At 45 days, broadcast a second dose near the base for heavy fruit set.
Root Mixing
Hoe lightly to mix the compost into the topsoil without damaging roots.
Regular Watering
Ensure consistent moisture to prevent flower drop.
Protection from disease
Mitti Gold Vermicompost acts as a natural soil sanitizer, reducing the population of harmful soil-borne fungi. For spices, it helps prevent stem gall, wilt, and rhizome rot by fostering a healthy microbial environment.
Heavy Pepper Weight and Pungency
Chemical heavy chilies often drop their flowers when temperature fluctuates. The rich organic carbon from vermicompost cushions the roots against heat stress, drastically reducing flower drop. The harvested peppers are longer, heavier, and far more pungent, retaining their deep red color upon drying.
Rejuvenating Soil Fungi
Chilies are highly prone to damping-off and root-rot diseases. The biological microbes within Vermicompost aggressively outcompete these harmful soil fungi, acting as a natural vaccine for the roots.
Exporting Dry and Fresh Chilies
Organic certification allows chili farmers to bypass local mandis and sell directly to high-margin spice exporters who demand zero-pesticide, zero-chemical produce.
