An experiment was laid out with three levels of inorganic fertilizers, NPK (100, 75 and 50 per cent of recommended dose of NPK 125: 75: 65 kg/ha), inoculation of four bio-fertilizers (viz.,Azotobacter, Azospirillum, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae, PSB1), recommended dose of FYM, i.e. @ 25 t/ha and their combinations. Observations were recorded on the different aspects of the plant like growth and development characters (plant height, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, number of leaves, leaf weight, stalk length, root biomass, days to curd formation), yield attributing characters (curd size, curd height, gross curd weight, net curd weight and yield per hectare). Though the treatments performed differently during both the years of the studies, nitrogen and potassium gave consistent results during both the years with respect to growth and yield attributing characters.
