The present investigation was conducted at Horticulture complex, Department of Horticulture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.) during the Rabi season in 2018-19 under open field condition. The experiment was laid out in complete randomized block design asymmetrical (factorial) with five levels of genotypes and three levels of vermicompost doses with three replications. The results revealed that among the Genotypes, G4 2018/TOC VAR-4 recorded significantly higher values for morphological and phenological traits such as plant height (66.74 and 123.96 cm) at 60 and 120 DAT, minimum days taken to first flower (29.84), minimum days to first picking (81.3 days), with average fruit weight 45.50 g, mean number of fruits per plants (144.3), yield per plant (0.82 kg) and fruit yield per ha (272.52 qha-1). Maximum number of branches per plant at final harvest (15.32), minimum days to first flower (29.35 days), early harvesting (81.3 days), average fruit weight (41.18g), fruit yield per plant (0.87 kg) and yield per hectare(289.60qha-1)were best results obtained under the application of vermicompost 5tha-1 and Azotobacter 4 kgha-1(B3). T9 having Vermicompost (5tha-1) and Azotobacter (4Kgha-1) in genotype 2018/TOC VAR-4 resulted in significantly maximum plant height 39.87, 74.91, 100.14 and 129.17 cm at 30, 60, 90, and 120 DAT respectively, number of 16.16 branches pl-1, minimum days (28.69) for days taken to first flowering, final harvesting at 124 days, maximum fruit weight (49.37g),fruit diameter (3.07 cm), number of 168.65 fruits per plant, yield 0.92 Kg pl-1 and fruit yield per hectare(307.78qha-1).
