A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2016-2017in the Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Allahabad, (U.P) in Randomized Block Design with three replications and 11 treatments. The experiment consisted of three Bulky organic manures (FYM, Vermicompost and Poultry manure) and three chemical fertilizers (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium).The result revealed that maximum plant height (44.55 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (35.97), leaf area plant-1 (56.27 cm2), number of flowers plant-1 (10.53), number of fruit set (4.77), fruit length (7.50 cm), number of fruits plant-1 (4.37), average fruit weight (140.47 g/fruit) and fruit yield plot-1 (4.23 kg) were produced by treatment T6 (50% RDN + 50% Vermicompost ha-1) followed by T7 (25% RDN + 75% vermicompost-1) with plant height (42.40 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (34.10), leaf area plant-1 (54.20 cm2), number of flowers plant-1 (10.47), number of fruit set (3.80), fruit length (7.27 cm), number of fruits plant-1 (3.67), average fruit weight (138.37 g/fruit) and fruit yield plot-1 (1.93 kg). Similarly, treatment T6 showed higher nutrient availability in the soil with organic carbon (0.47%) and the residual nutrient status of nitrogen (106.08 kg/ha), phosphorus (23.83 kg/ha) and potassium (381.33 kg/ha). The maximum gross (Rs. 2557750 ha-1) and net return (Rs.199036.22 ha-1) were obtained in T6 and maximum benefit cost ratio (4.50) was obtained in T2 (75% RDN + 25% FYM ha-1).
