The present experiment entitled “Response of fertilizer application on growth of papaya var. Red Lady” was conducted during the year 2016-17 at Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat). The experiment was laid out with nine treatments in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) and replicated thrice. The treatments included100 % RDF (200:200:250 g NPK/plant) as control in four equal splits (2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th MAP), 100 and 80 % recommended dose of nitrogen and potash in 8 equal splits starting from 2nd month after planting in 30 days interval with or without foliar application of 1 % Grade-IV micronutrient and novel organic liquid fertilizer at 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th month after planting. Results of present investigation revealed that papaya var. Red Lady plants fed with 100 % RDNK (200:250 g/plant) and applied in 8 equal splits starting from 2nd month after planting in 30 days interval with foliar application of 1 % Grade-IV micronutrient at 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th month after planting gave maximum growth characters like plant height, plant girth and leaf area and minimum days required for first flower initiation.
