Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate the effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield parameters of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The research was conducted during the early summer season of 2019 with ten treatments which has the organic manures and inorganic fertilizers in combination and in alone in randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiments results showed that organic manures and inorganic fertilizers have a significant effect on growth and yield parameters of sweet basil. The treatment i.e. 50% RDN through urea + 50% RDN through poultry manure recorded the higher plant height (79.67 cm), number of primary branches per plant (21.11), number of leaves (1393), fresh herbage yield per plant (701.21 g) and per hectare (36.43 t), dry herbage yield per plant (145.18 g) and per hectare (7.54 t) and oil yield (168.52 kg/ha) followed by 50% RDN through urea + 50% RDN through neem cake.
