Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Response of biofertilizer and organic manure on the growth, yield and quality of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Pusa Uttam under Bundelkhand region of U.P” was carried out the organic research farm Karguwan Institute of Agricultural Sciences Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) during rabi season of the year 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications comprising 8 viz. T0- Control, T1- Farm yard manure (100%), T2-Vermicompost (100%), T3-Poultry manure (100%), T4-Farm yard manure (100%) +Azotobactor, T5-Vermicompost (100%) +Azotobactor, T6-Farm yard manure (50%) +Vermicompost (50%) +Azotobactor, T7- Poultry manure (50%) +Vermicompost (50%) + PSB + Azotobactor. The result showed that the treatment T7 having Poultry manure (50%) +Vermicompost (50%) + PSB + Azotobactor gave maximum and significantly, plant height (19.77, 30.66, 47.07 and 66.06), stem diameter (0.56, 0.94, 3.33 and 3.72 cm), number of branches per plant(4.66, 8.66, 15.00 and 23.00) 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT respectively, days to 1st flowering (35.66 days), number of fruit per plant(7.66), days to 1st picking(60.33 days), fruit length (9.24 cm), fruit diameter (8.04 cm), average fruit weight (131.10 g), total soluble solid (4.84%) and yield (37238.42 kg ha-1). Application of T7 Poultry manure (50%) +Vermicompost (50%) + PSB + Azotobactor significantly superior to other treatments.
