In order to study the effect of different organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth, yield and yield attributes of popcorn, an experiment was conducted at crop research farm of Division of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Wadura during kharif 2017. The results indicated that the application of RDF (N120 P60 K40) kg ha-1 recorded highest growth and yield parameters viz. plant height (187.58 cm), number of functional leaves (12.05), leaf area index (6.68), dry matter accumulation (139.9 q ha-1), yield attributes {number of grains per cob (480.0) and 1000 grain weight (193g)}, grain yield (38.8q ha-1), stover yield (110.2 q ha-1) and benefit :cost ratio but was at par with 75% RDF + FYM @ 10 ha-1 + AZO + PSB + KSB (T7) while significantly lowest value of above mentioned parameters was found in control (T1).No significant differences were found in rest of the treatments. So, it was considered that application of 75% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha-1 + AZO + PSB + KSB over RDF should be recommended because of its considerable influence on improving soil health and maintaining ecological balance and also with better net and gross returns.
