Abstract: The field experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Marathwada Agriculture University, Parbhani. during the year 2009-10. The experiment was laid out in simple randomized block design with three replication and ten treatments. In this investigation the sapota tree were applied with different organic and inorganic fertilizers and their combination namely T1 (100% RDF), T7 (100 % FYM), T3 (100 % Vermicompost), T4 (50% FYM + 50% Vermicompost), T5 (75%RDF+ 25% FYM), T6 (50% RDF + 50% FYM), T7 (25% RDF + 75% FYM), T8 (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost), T9 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost) and T10 (25% RDF + 75% Vermicompost). The treatment (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost) found 56.72 per cent flower drop and increased the 43.28 Percent fruit set. The treatment T9 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost) has recorded significantly reduced fruit drop (82.83 percent) and increased fruit retention (17.17 percent). The application of 50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost enhanced the vegetative and reproductive growth as well as yield attributes.
