Abstract: The field experiment was conducted at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam to study the effect of organic manures and nutrients on growth and yield of Betelvine variety SGM1 and Vellaikodi during 2018 – 2019. The experimental design was FRBD (Factorial Randomized Block Design) consisting of eight treatments replicated thrice. In this study, different percentage of organic manures viz., FYM (50 and 25%), Vermicompost (75% and 50%), Neem cake (50 and 25%) along with Recommended dose of fertilizers (150:100:30 kg/ha NPK). Among the various treatments, soil application of 50% N as Vermicompost + 25% N as FYM + 25% N as Neem cake (T5) recorded the highest growth and yield parameters in terms of vine length, number of nodes per vine, number of laterals per vine, leaf length, breadth, leaf area, number of leaves per vine, fresh weight of 100 leaves, single leaf fresh and dry weight and leaf yield.
