Field experiments were conducted to study the influence of various organic manures (FYM @ 251 ha−1, Pressmud @ 251 haa and neemcake @ 51 ha−1) combined with graded ledels of inorganic fertilizers (75, 100 and 125% of RDF) and with two levels of vermiwash (with and without application @ 1:5 dilution) on growth attributes of jasmine during 2002–03 In Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Application of neemcake @ 5 t ha−1 combined with 125 per cent of RDF (150: 300: 300 g plant-1) and vermiwash application increased the plant height, number of leaves per primary shoot and leaf area per plant. However, significantly the highest length of the primary shoot, number of secondary shoots, number of productive shoots and plant spread were recorded when FYM @ 25 t ha−1 combined with 100 per cent of RDF (120: 240: 240 g plant−1) + vermiwash application @ 1:5 dilution was applied.
