Abstract

A field experiment was conducted between 1995 and 1999 to study the effect of organic, inorganic and biofertilizers on neem (Azadirachta indica) under rainfed condition in wastelands. The results revealed the superiority of combined application of organic, inorganic and biofertilizers. Application of Farm Yard Manure 25 kg + Di Ammonium Phosphate 50 g + Azospirillum 50 g + Phosphobacteria 50 g tree-1 registered the maximum plant height of 437.9 cm and more girth at bottom, 50 and 100 cm height from ground level at three and half years.
