Abstract
Field experiment was conducted to study the response of fertilizers and organic manure on Growth, Yield and quality of sweet sorghum with four levels of fertilizers (Control, 40:20:20:,80:40:40 and 120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1) and five levels of organic manures (No manure, VC 2.5t ha-1, VC+ Azospirillum, VC + PSB, VC+ Azospirillum+ PSB) . Results indicated that application of 120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1 recorded the highest plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area, grain yield, green cane yield and juice yield, and application of 80:40:40 NPK kg ha-1 recorded the highest values of TSS, pH, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and total sugar percentage of sweet sorghum juice. Application of vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 along with seed treatment of Azospirillum and PSB enhanced the growth characters and produced highest yield and enhanced the quality.
