Abstract: 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 bio-fertilizer 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
