ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on vegetative and yield parameters of brinjal (Solanum melongena) cv. Pant Rituraj at
Crop Cafeteria, Galgotias University, Grater Noida. The experimental field was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The experimental treatments comprised of
three organic manures viz. Farmyard Manure, Vermicompost and poultry manure in combination with two bio-fertilizers, namely Azospirillumand Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). All
variable parameters regarding vegetative and yield were significantly influenced by different combinations of organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Result indicated that a combined
application of organic manure and bio-fertilizers i.e.Vermicompost (50%) + Poultry manure (50%) + Azospirillumgave the significantly better response in respect to vegetative parameters
and yield parameters and maximum plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit weight and
yield were recorded under the same treatment.
Key words : Bio-fertilisers, Brinjal, Organic manures.
