Abstract: The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj, during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to evaluate the “Influence of Organic manures and biofertilizers on yield and yield attributes of Indian Basil (Ocimum sanctum L.) cvs Cim-Ayu and Cim-Angana”. The experiment was laid out in factorial R.B.D. with 12 treatments, replicated thrice. The treatment consisted of organic manures viz. FYM, Neem cake, Vermicompost and biofertlizers viz. Mycorrhiza, Azotobacter and P.S.B. The observation on yield and yield attributes namely, Fresh herbage yield per plant, Fresh herbage yield per plot, Fresh herbage yield per hectare, Dry herbage yield per plant, Dry herbage yield per plot, Dry herbage yield per hectare were recorded. The highest fresh herbage yield was obtained from T₁₀ (FYM 10 t/ha+P.S.B 10 t/ha+Neem Cake @1.5 t/ha + Azotobacter @ 6.0 kg/ha)_. The lowest fresh and dry herbage yield was recorded in T₅ (Azotobacter @ 6.0 kg/ha+Mycorrhiza @ 6.0 kg/ha) in combination of organic manures and fertilizers, respectively.
