The present investigation was carried out at Main Experiment Station, Horticulture, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj Faizabad (U.P.) under sodic soil condition during the years 2014-15 and 2015-16 to evaluate the response of organic manure, inorganic fertilizer and biofertilizer on growth, yield and yield attributing characters. The experiment keeps nine treatments viz. T1- 100% NPK, T2-50 Kg FYM, T3-50 Kg FYM + 100% NPK, T4-50 Kg FYM+75% NPK, T5-50 Kg FYM +50% NPK, T6-50 Kg FYM + 200g each (Azotobacter+ PSB), T7-50 Kg FYM + 100% NPK + 200g each (Azotobacter+PSB), T8-50 Kg FYM+75% NPK+200g each (Azotobacter+ PSB) and T9-50 Kg FYM +50% NPK+200g each (Azotobacter+ PSB) and these treatments were replicated four times. The growth character like plant height, plant girth and plant spread (East-West and North-South) flowering and fruiting behaviuor like number of flower per shoot, fruit set, fruit retention, fruit yield were noted maximum with minimum fruit drop by the use of 50 Kg FYM+100% NPK+200g each (Azotobacter+PSB) followed by the application of T8-50 Kg FYM +75% NPK + 200g each (Azotobacter+ PSB) and T3-50 Kg FYM + 100% NPK than other treatments. The treatment of T2-50 Kg FYM was recorded the lowest results as comparatively all other treatments.
