An experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) season of 2020 and 2021 to study the influence assessment of different nutrients in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum var. Grossum L.) Experiment comprised of 9 treatments laid in randomized block design (RBD) tested against absolute control. Two year pooled data analysis revealed that, application of 150% NPK + FYM produced maximum number of fruits (11.62), fruit length (7.37 cm), fruit width (6.76 cm), average fruit weight (73.0 g), HI (31.60 %), yield (314.3 q/ha) and earned maximum net returns (₹462215.8). Treatment T9 (150% NPK + FYM) also recorded maximum plant nutrient contents and their uptake, and found to be statistically at par with T8 (100% NPK + FYM) which also recorded higher benefit-cost ratio. Application of 100% NPK produced 239.2 q/ha capsicum and gave net returns of ₹373618.8 and 3.56 benefit cost (B:C) ratio. Application of 100% NPK + FYM recorded 289.6 q/ha capsicum yield and net returns of ₹435785.4 with B:C of 3.04 and proved as the best treatment for enhancing yield and economics of capsicum under mid hills of Himachal Pradesh. Therefore, the recommended practice, i.e. Application of 100% NPK (100: 76: 54 kg/ha) + FYM (250 q/ ha) is the best alternative of NPK inorganic fertilizers and best nutrient management practice to exploit the better eco-friendly economic capsicum yield.
