Abstract: The present investigation comprising two different growing condition viz. 50 % green shadenet and 50% white shadenet with nine levels of sources of organic nutrients were tested in the Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications during summer-2016. The results revealed that maximum vine length at 60 DAS (392.50 cm) was recorded with treatment 50% FYM + 50% poultry manure + biofertilizers (Azospirillium+PSB+KSM) (T4). Maximum number of branches per plant (3.18), yield per plant (3.71 kg) and per meter square (5.19 kg) was found with application of 50% castor cake + 50% poultry manure + biofertilizers + Trichoderma viride + neem oil (T9). The interaction effect of growing condition and different sources of organic nutrient was not significant for all growth, flowering, yield and quality parameters. The 50% white shadenet and application of 50% castor cake + 50% poultry manure + biofertilizers + Trichoderma viride + neem oil found economically superior over rest treatments. Thus, for obtaining better growth and yield with higher benefit cost ratio, bottle gourd should sown in 50% white shadenet and apply 50% castor cake + 50% poultry manure + biofertilizers (Azospirillium+PSB+KSM) + Trichoderma viride + neem oil.
