An investigation was conducted to study the effect of water soluble fertilizers on yield parameters of chilli hybrid (Capsicum annuum L.) was carried out during 2015-2016 in the Pudhukuraipettai village at VirudhachalamTaluk in Cuddalore district. Foliar feeding of water soluble fertilizers NPK viz., 19:19:19, 18:18:18, 13:40:13 were given at 0.5 and 1.0 per cent concentration with 5 sprays each starting from 30 DAT at 15 days interval along with 100 and 75 per cent recommended dose of NPK (120:80:80 kg ha-1), formed thirteen treatments in chilli hybrid. The experimental plots were laid out in Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The results obtained showed that 100% RDF + WSF 1.0% NPK @ 13:40:13 recorded the highest number fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight, yield per plant and yield per hectare.
