Abstract: A field experiment conducted on the effect of organic treatments and spacing on growth parameters of kalmegh under Rabi season 2017-18 at college of Horticulture, Rajendranagar. The treatment M₃S₃ recorded maximum number of primary branches per plant (17.23), number of secondary branches per plant (5.78), number of leaves per plant (281.81), followed by M₁S₃ –FYM (30 t/ha) + AMC (7.5 l/ha) with spacing S₃ (30 x 45 cm). Minimum was recorded in M₅S₁. The treatment M₁S₃ –FYM (30 t/ha) + AMC (7.5 l/ha) with spacing S₃ (30 x 45 cm) recorded maximum leaf area (890.60 cm²), LAI (1.75), leaf stem ratio (0.94), fresh weight of leaves per plant (60.63 g), dry weight of leaves per plant (30.26 g), crop growth rate (7.14 g/day/m²), relative growth rate (17.32 mg/g/day) at harvest, followed by the treatment M₃S₃ whereas minimum was recorded in the treatment M₅S₁. Among all the interactions maximum growth parameters were recorded in the treatment M₁S₃ – FYM (30 t/ha) + Arka microbial consortium with spacing S₃ (30 x 45 cm).
