Abstract: The present experiment was carried out during November, 2019 to January, 2020 in Research Field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with ten treatments replicated thrice with (FYM+Vermicompost+NPK) and variety on Hybrid palak. The treatments were T₁ (RDF (NPK- 60:60:60 kg/ha) FYM (10 ton/ ha), T₂ (NPK (45:45:45 kg/hac) + 2.5 ton FYM), T₃ (NPK (45:45:45 kg/hac) +1.5 ton VC), T₄ (NPK (45:45:45 kg/hac) + 1.5 ton FYM +0.75 VC), T₅ (NPK (30:30:30 kg/hac) +5 ton FYM), T₆ (NPK (30:30:30 kg/hac ) +2.5 tonVC), T₇ (NPK (30:30:30 kg/hac) + 2.5 ton FYM +1.5 ton VC), T₈ (NPK (15:15:15 kg/hac) +7.5 ton FYM) T₉ (NPK (15:15:15 kg/hac) +3.5 ton VC) and T₁₀ (NPK (15:15:15 kg/hac) + 4 ton FYM +2.25 ton VC). From the present investigation it is concluded that the treatment T₅ (NPK (30:30:30) + 5 ton FYM) was best in growth, yield and quality parameters of Spinach, followed by treatment T₆ (NPK (30:30:30) + 2.5 ton VC) and minimum growth, yield and quality was recorded in treatment T₁ (NPK (60:60:60) + 10 ton FYM), in terms of economics treatment T₅ was best with benefit cost ratio 2.43.
