This experiment was carried out in Piracicaba, Brazil, to evaluate the effects of three types of organic materials in association with chemical fertilizers on the nutrition and yield of pepper cv. Mayata cultivated in plastic greenhouse. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with four replications and six treatments (150 g hole-1 of peat compost plus 100% NPK; 150 g hole-1 of peat compost plus 70% NPK; 100 g hole-1 of pinus chip compost plus 100% NPK; 100 g hole-1 of pinus chip compost plus 70% NPK; 100 g hole-1 of poultry manure plus 100% NPK; 100% NPK). The NPK rate was 100 g cave-1 of 04-14-08 mineral fertilizer, corresponding to 130-458-262 kg ha-1 of N-P2O5-K2O, respectively. The poultry manure plus 100% do NPK increased the fruits weight and leaf P compared to other organic materials plus 100% or 70% of NPK. The organic compost with mineral fertilization did not increase the fruits weight and yield when compared to mineral fertilization alone.
