The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication. The treatments consists of T1- Farmyard manure @ 10 t ha-1; T2- Farmyard manure @ 5 t ha-1; T3- Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1; T4- Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1; T5- Poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1; T6- Poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1; T7- GRDF (50: 75: 40 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1 with 5 t FYM ha-1); T8- Absolute control. All the growth parameters noticed significantly higher when crop was fertilized with (50: 75: 40 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1 with 5 t FYM ha-1) during both the years.
