This investigation included 16 treatments ( NPK, cattle, chicken and compost containing 165 kg N/fed. and their combination). Treatments received NPK + chicken manure + compost at a rate of ( 113+1/3+113 ) increased plant height, number of leaves and stems as well as their fresh weight and increased concentration of N, P and K in leaves and stems. The same treatment increased total yield and physical properties "length, diameter, weight and flesh thickness" and chemical composition "ascorbic acid, acidity, carotiodies and T.S.S" of pepper fruits.
