Abstract :
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth parameters in Tinda. There were 13 treatments comprised of organic manures viz., FYM (25 t ha-1), vermicompost (2.5 t ha-1), neemcake (1000 kg ha-1), Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria (2 kg ha-1) along with recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers @ 50:20:20kg NPK ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The study revealed that 75 per cent of NPK along with vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 combined with Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria @ 2 kg ha-1 recorded the highest vine length (207.22cm), number of laterals (18.96) and leaf area (110.86 cm2).
