Abstract: The present investigation was conducted under field conditions at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221 005 (Uttar Pradesh) during kharif season 2016. The investigation was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The data on different parameters recorded from seven randomly selected plants for each treatment in each replication. The investigation comprised ten viz., 100% NPK (180:80:80), 75% NPK (135:60:60) + VC (25 t per ha), 75% NPK (135:60:60) + FYM (25 t per ha), 75% NPK (135:60:60) + Azotobacter 2 kg per ha, 75% NPK (135:60:60) + PSB 2 kg per ha, 50% NPK (90:40:40) + VC (25 t per ha) + FYM (25 t per ha), 50% NPK (90:40:40) +VC (25 t per ha) + Azotobacter 2kg per ha, 50% NPK (90:40:40) + FYM (25 t per ha) + Azotobacter 2kg per ha, 25% NPK (45:20:20) +VC (25t per ha) + FYM (25t per ha) + Azotobacter 2 kg per ha + PSB 2 kg per ha and control (water spray). The sowing of brinjal cv. Kashi Sandesh was done on 25th July 2016, and transplanting was done on 30th August, 2016 kharif season in rows of raised beds. Row to Row and plant to plant spacing were maintained 60 × 60 cm respectively. On the basis of finding of the present investigation with different treatment combinations of different level of NPK, organic manure and bio-fertilizers on vegetative growth, yield and yield attributes in brinjal cv. Kashi Sandesh, it can be concluded that application of 25% NPK + VC + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB is more conductive for better growth, development and yield of brinjal than other treatments, which gave the maximum number of primary branches (7.14), secondary branches (7.11) per plant, leaf length (18.33 cm), leaf breadth (13.33 cm), stem diameter (1.35 cm), fruit diameter (9.20 cm), fruit set (72.78%), fresh fruit weight (374.56 g), number of fruits per plant (16.14), fruit yield per plant (1.82 kg), yield per ha (172.04 q) and also gave minimum days to 50% flowering (57.0 days), 1st bud appearance (55.67 days) and 1st edible harvesting (73.67 days) whereas, treatment 50% NPK + VC + FYM gave maximum plant height (72.90 cm) and minimum days to 1st flower appearance (36.83 days). The maximum fruit length (10.56 cm), peduncle length (5.68 cm) and number of tertiary branches per plant (3.87) was recorded under treatment 50% NPK + VC + Azotobacter.
