Applying organic fertilizers is an issue that acquiring high attention in modern agriculture. This study aims to evaluate the impact of co-application vermicompost and biochar on growth performance productivity sweet pepper plants grown under greenhouse conditions. The applied treatments were as follows: 100% (T1), 75% + 25% (T2), 50% (T3), compost (T4), (T5), (control-T6). All distributed randomly, each treatment was repeated three times over two seasons. data analysis revealed application vermicompost—alone or combination with biochar—significantly increased plant measurements (plant height, SPAD value, leaf area, No. leaves, branches), nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca), total yield both (T1) (T2 T3)—on average seasons significantly by 31.12%, 26.47%, 22.53%, respectively, compared control (T6). Furthermore, aforementioned also physical quality (fresh fruit weight, length, diameter, flesh thickness) chemical fruits [total phenol (TPC), soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid (AsA), β-carotenoids (β-Carot), titratable acidity (TA)]. In addition, caused a significant reduction nitrate concentration (T6) conclusion, simultaneous promising strategy improve performance, nutrition status, yield, plants, well reduce fruits.
