A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2020-21 to
study the effect of organic manure and biofertilizers on growth and yield of
dill (Anethum graveolens L.). The eight treatment combinations of FYM,
vermicompost and biofertilizers were tested in randomized block design
with three replications. Result indicated that organic manure and
Biofertilizers significantly influenced growth and yield of dill. Significantly

highest biological yield (42.67 q ha )and seed yield (1.57 q ha ) with-
harvest index (46.14%) were observed under treatment T7 [FYM (5 tonha
1 -1 -1 -1
) + Vermicompost (2 ton ha ) + Azotobacter (3 kg ha ) + PSB (5 kg ha )]
compared to control. Findings suggested that application of biological
fertilizers significantly increased seeds performance, biological yield per
plant, plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, number of umbels per plant,
number of seeds per umbel.
