Abstract: An experiment entitled “Fertilizer requirement of papaya (Carica papaya l.) for commercial cultivation under Bihar condition†was conducted during the year 2016-17 at Horticulture garden, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar). The experiment contains twenty seven treatment with three replication under Randomised Block Design (RBD factorial). Treatment includes three levels of each calcium nitrate, neem coated urea (both @ of 0, 100 & 200 g/plant) and muriate of potash (0, 200 & 400 g/plant) were applied in four equal split starting at 2 month of planting. The results showed that, number of flowers and fruits/plant ranged from 19.19 – 20.89 and 14.97 – 18.14 respectively, fruit weight from 0.889 – 0.927 kg among different fertilizer application, the TSS content ranged from 7.76 – 8.80 °Brix and acidity content from 0.33 – 0.36%. Neem coated urea showed best result in increasing the no. of flowers and fruit weight than calcium nitrate. Application of higher dose (400 g/plant) of muriate of potash results best in increasing quality of papaya fruits.
