Abstract: Optimization of plant growth by providing required amount of nutrients is one of the important nursery techniques in raising healthy growing stock. In this realm, a study was conducted on the effect of organic, inorganic and biofertilizers on the growth and early establishment of Malabar Neem (<em>Melia dubia</em> CAV.). The study was carried out at College of Agriculture, Raichur during the period of 2015-16 using ten different treatments in 3 replications. It was found that the use of Vermicompost @ 20g/seedling, increases the physiological growth parameters of seedlings <em>viz</em>., shoot length, root length, root to shoot ratio, root diameter, seedling dry weight and chlorophyll content. Using of Poultry manure at the rate of 20 g/ seedling too have shown better results when compared to the other treatments.
