The results of investigation revealed maximum number of primary branches (13.63), plant spread (21.63 cm), number of leaves per plant (162.20), duration of flowering (20.80 days), number of flowers per plant (39.10), number of flowers per m2 (360.30), vase life (9.73 days) and minimum days taken to bud initiation and flowering (58.43 and 74.43, respectively) from the treatment consisting of FYM @18 ton/ha (50%) + Vermicompost @ 06 ton/ha (50%)+ PSB @ (50 ml/15L) + Azotobacter @ (30ml/15L) i.e. T16. The quality traits viz., stalk length (34.43 cm), flower diameter (7.73 cm) and average weight of flower (3.38 g) were found maximum from T13 Vermicompost @ 9.6 ton/ha (80%) + PSB@ (50 ml/15L) +Azotobacter @ (30ml/15L) followed by T16 (34.23 cm, 7.20 cm and 3.37 g).
