Abstract
The present investigation was under taken in the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, (Allahabad). During winter season of 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and Pooled. The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 13 treatments and each treatment replicated thrice. The treatments consist of different combinations of inorganic fertilizers (N, P and K) and organic fertilizers (FYM, Vermicompost and Poultry Manure) and control (No fertilizers and manures). The treatment T5 50% RDF + FYM 14 t ha-1 was found the statistically significant compared to other treatment combination, which recorded highest plant height (23.68, 57.11 and 76.41 cm), spread area (8.19 cm2, 15.54 cm2 and 18.47 cm2), Number of leaves (36.63, 57.11 and 76.41), Leaf area (15.03 cm2, 15.63 cm2 and 15.33 cm2), Chlorophyll content (66.11 mg, 65.60 mg and 65.86 mg), followed by T9 25% RDF + Vermicompost 6.9 t ha-1 and lowest yield was obtained from T0 (control).
