An experiment was conducted to examine the response of three levels of biofertilizers viz. (Azotobactor, PSB, Azotobactor + PSB) and five different sources of organic manures viz. FYM, Vermicompost, Caster Cake, Poultry Manure, Neem Cake a in factorial randomized block design with four replications during late Kharif season 2016. The results revealed that among different biofertilizers, minimum days taken for first cutting at 20 cm height, days taken for subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (second cutting), days taken for subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (third cutting), days taken for subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (fourth cutting), maximum yield of first cutting at 20 cm height (g), yield of subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (g) (Second cutting), yield of subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (g) (third cutting), yield of subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (g) (fourth cutting), yield per plot (kg) and yield per ha (q/ha) were recorded with treatment b3 (Azotobactor + PSB). In case of different sources of organic manures, minimum days taken for first cutting at 20 cm height, days taken for subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (second cutting), days taken for subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (third cutting), days taken for subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (fourth cutting), maximum yield of first cutting at 20 cm height (g), yield of subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (g) (Second cutting), yield of subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (g) (third cutting), yield of subsequent cutting at 20 cm height (g) (fourth cutting), yield per plot (kg) and yield per ha (q/ha) were observed with treatment f2 (Vermicompost).
