Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in the department of horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Allahabad during rabi season (2016-17). The experiment was laid out in RBD having 13treatments and 3replication. The treatment T4 (RDF + Vermicompost 5t/ha + Neem Cake 4t/ha) was found significantly superior compared to other treatment combinations, which recorded highest mean value of plant height (21.20cm), plant spread (26.62cm2), number of leaves per plant (16.23), petiole length (13.93cm), number of fruits per plant (4.20) and average fruit weight (19.51g). The highest yield per plant (286.56g) and yield per hectare (17.19t/ha) werealso obtained from treatment T4 (RDF + Vermicompost 5t/ha + Neem Cake 4t/ha) followed by T3 (RDF +Vermicompost 5t/ha + Neem Cake 2t/ha) and lowest yield was obtained from T0 (control).
