Abstract: For getting better growth of sapota plantation, the present investigation was conducted during 2012-14 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on eight years old sapota orchard planted at 8m x 8m apart in silty clay loam of South-Eastern Rajasthan. Results revealed that the treatments with combined application of inorganic fertilizers (NPK), organic manures (FYM and vermicompost) and biofertilizers (Azotobacter, Azospirillum and PSB) sources of nutrients had significantly increased the different growth parameters of sapota over control (NPK i.e. 1000:500:500g/ plant) denoted as T1. Among different treatments, application of 2/3rd of T1 +10 kg vermicompost +250g Azospirillum +250g Azotobacter/plant (T15) had significantly increased the shoot length (32.92 cm), shoot diameter (2.66 cm ), number of leaves per shoot (29.00), girth of primary branches (4.02 cm) after 120 days of treatment application. The plant spread E-W (3.45 m) and plant spread N-S (3.43 m) at fruit harvest was also higher in this treatment (T15) on pooled basis. From the present investigation it is concluded that the 19 % higher shoot length could be increased with application of 2/3 quantity of recommended dose of fertilizers i.e. 1000:500:500 g NPK + 10 kg vermicompost +250g Azospirillum +250g Azoto-bacter/plant (T15) in Sapota cv. Kalipatti over the control.
