L) During Kharif, At Regional Horticultural Research and Extension center, College of Horticulture, UHS, Campus GKVK, Bengaluru, Karnataka India. The experiment consisting 10 treatments replicated thrice. Significantly higher plant height (26.17, 108.40, 123.53), number of branch (7.53, 9.46, 11.53), at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, number of fruits per cluster (4.68, 4.22) at 60 and 90 DAT, average yields per plant (4.19) and yields per hectare (58.19 tons) were recorded with application of Vermicompost equivalent to N content of FYM + 100% N equivalent through panchagavya as top dress (T5) respectively.
