Capsicum is one of the most important nutritious and highly remunerative vegetable crops grown mainly for its green fruits. It is mostly grown in greenhouses or in low cost protective structures. Capsicum is an important cash crop for smallholder farmers in developing countries like India. The present investigation on capsicum was conducted at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute, F/C: IRTDM, Morabadi, Ranchi campus. Seven organically designed treatments (including control) viz.: T1: Enriched Sanjeevani (1%); T2: Enriched Sanjeevani (3%); T3: BD-501 (1%); T4: BD-501 (3%); T5: Sasyagavya (10%); T6: Sanjeevani (10%) and T7: Absolute Control were assigned for the study by employing Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications for each treatment under both open field and protective condition. Different growth, yield and quality attributes were taken into account for evaluation of capsicum cv. Yellow Wonder both under open field and low cost protective conditions. The findings revealed that coloured capsicum cv. Yellow Wonder is not suitable for growing under open field condition of the south Chhotanagpur plateau of Jharkhand, whereas, it performed well under low cost protective structure. From the study, it was revealed that the T6 treatment [Sanjeevani (10%)]is the best treatment regarding yield potential (13216.46 ± 297.46kgha-1 ≈13.0 tha-1) under protection as contrast to the open field condition (424.69 ± 39.33kgha-1 ≈0.4 tha-1). As a consequence, growing capsicum variety Yellow Wonder through T6 treatment under low cost protective structure emerged as the best concerning net return per unit area with the highest benefit:cost ratio (3.46).Findings also accentuated that capsicum may well be suited for cultivation even in commercial scale through non-chemical farming approaches in this region. However, different studied quality contributing parameters perform independently under the influences of organically designed treatments under both of the growing conditions.
