Abstract: Six organic manures namely cowdung, neem cake, poultry mainure, phosphocompost and vermicompost were applied in different combinations with inorganicnitrogenous fertilizer (urea) at three levels (25%, 50%, and 75%). The growth parameters like plant height and number of branches per plant was found maximum with the combination of vermicompost and urea at 50%. Increase in inorganic nitrogen level (25, 50 and 75%) in the growing media flowering was delayed compared to all organic manures. The yield attributes including fruit yield was found maximum also with nitrogen received from vermicompost and urea at 50% level. However, all the treatments showed the enhanced results over control (without nitrogen). The qualitative aspects were increased with the application of neem cake compared to other inorganic sources.
