The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different organic fertilizers on growth and yield of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Manjari Gota. The results revealed that treatment T₇ (100% RDF + FYM 5 t/ha) recorded highest plant height (69.76 cm, 55.36% increase over the control), highest number of branches per plant (16.50, 120% increase over the control), highest number of leaves (72.37, 63.28% increase over the control), minimum days required for first flower to appear on plant (48.15 days), minimum days required for 50 per cent flower to appear on plant (61.48 days) and more number of flowers per plant (65.59), minimum days required for first harvesting of brinjal (82.77 days), maximum individual fruit weight (69.68 g, 18.20% increase over the control), maximum fruit length (10.52 cm, 42.93% increase over the control), diameter of fruit (5.70 cm, 38.68% increase over the control), maximum number of fruits per plant (23.92, 102.88% increase over the control), highest yield of fruits per plant (1.45 kg, 110.14% increase over the control), highest yield of fruits per plot (103.17 kg, 106.83% increase over the control) and high yield of fruits per hectare (225.58 q/ha, 106.19% increase over the control) as compared with other different organic fertilizer treatments.
