The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with fifteen and three replications. The minimum number of days taken to first flower bud appearance, days to first flowering and days to 50% flowering were recorded in the plants which were treated with 100% NPK + FYM + AZB + PSB, however, the maximum number of days was recorded in 50% NPK. The maximum number of flowers per plant, fruits set, fruit number per plant, fruit weight, yieldplant-1 and per ha-1 was recorded with100% NPK + FYM + AZB + PSB followed by 100% NPK + FYM + PSB, whereas the minimum recorded with application of 50% NPK. The maximum benefit: cost ratio was found with 100% NPK + FYM + AZB + PSB which was followed by 100% NPK + FYM + PSB treatment
