An experiment was conducted during the year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 at the experimental plot, College of Agriculture, Chiplima, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Sambalpur, Odisha to find out the effect of integrated use nutrients (organic, inorganic and biofertilizers ) on growth, flowering and yield of papaya cv. Coorg Honey Dew. The maximum plant height (218.1cm and 284.4 cm), stem girth (41.7 cm and 62.3 cm), number of functional leaves (46.9 and 51.7), petiole length (85.7 cm and 114.9 cm) were recorded at 12 and 24 months after planting in papaya plants treated with 100% RDF + PSB +AZS+AZO i.e. under the treatment T7 which was at par with T8 and significantly superior to untreated control (T10) plants. The minimum days required for first flower appearance (148 days), fruit set (166 days) and fruit development (125 days) in papaya was obtained when the plants received with 100 % RDF + AZO+AZS+PSB (T7) as compared to untreated control plants (T10) with corresponding values (179 days, 213 days and 155 days) respectively. The cumulative fruit yield was also found highest (55.89 kg/plant) in T7 which was closely followed by (53.91 kg/plant) under treatment T8. The treatments T7 and T8 registered a yield advantage of 234.7% and 225.7% over the control (T10).
