Abstract: The present investigation entitled. “Micronutrient and Biofertilizer on the plant growth and yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)†was carried out during winter season of 2016-17 at Agricultural farm, Department of Agricultural Sciences & Engineering, IFTM University, Lodhipur Rajput, Moradabad (U.P.) in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Different combinations of A1 (Azotobacter@750ml/ha) A2 (Azotobacter@1000ml/ha), B1 (Boron @10kg/ha) and B2 (Boron @15kg/ha) and control were used as treatment. Observations were recorded on vegetative and yield parameters. On the basis of observations recorded, it is found that the performance of the A2B2 (Azotobacter@1000ml/ha+Boron@15kg/ha) was better in all plant growth and yield parameters such as plant height (36.21cm), number of leaves (14.33),leaf length (30.95cm) and leaf width(14.45cm),15, 30 and 45 DAT, curd initiation(77.80), curd diameter(17.58cm),curd weight per plant(1039.33g),leaves weight/plant(760.00g) and yield (428.00qu/ha.). The values for the plant height(36.21cm), number of leaves (14.33cm), at 15, 30 and 45 DAT, curd weight per plant (1039.33g) and yield (428.00qu/ha.) were recorded nearly similar in a treatment combination of Micronutrient and Biofertilizer T6 A2B2(Azotobacter@1000ml/ha + Boron@ 15kg/ha).The treatment T6 A2B2 (Azotobacter@1000ml/ha+Boron@15kg/ha) came out as the best combination for growth and yield characters of cauliflower for commercial production because organically produced vegetable fetch higher price in the market therefore, even if the yield is slightly low with organic inputs, it can be recommended for the commercial production of cauliflower in account of human health, soil health, environmental health and quality product instead of quantity.
