The effects of treatment were studied on growth. The maximum, plant height, plant spread, number of branches, number of leaves per plant, were recorded with nitrogen levels 100 kg N/ha. The phosphorus is also influenced with increasing trend on plant spread, number of breaches, number of leaves per plant.
