Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the “Effect of biofertilizers on germination and growth attributes of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. pusa nanha in polybags under shade net condition”, at The Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, during the period 2023-25.
