Abstract

A field experiment entitled “Effect of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Sardar in Mrig Bahar Crop” was conducted during the May 2018 to February 2019, at the Fruit Instructional Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of sixteen different treatments of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers was laid out in Randomized Block Design with four replications. The results revealed that the treatment T14 (75% RDF + 10 kg Vermicompost + 50 g Azotobacter + 50 g PSB + 5 kg mustard oil cake per plant) was found significantly superior over all other treatments with respect to plant growth characteristics including soil physicochemical properties.
