The present investigation was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Utlou, during 2018 – 2019. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results indicated that application of vermicompost showed earliest sprouting of rhizomes (7.67 days) while the combined treatment consisting of vermicompost and biofertilizers viz., Azotobacter, PSB and VAM obtained maximum number of leaves per plant (18.33), plant height (68.93 cm), leaf width (1.37cm), number of tillers (9.97), earliest spike emergence (187.74 days), days to flowering after spike emergence (8.05 days), number of spikes per plant (3.98), length of spike (33.22cm), number of flowers per spike (4.68), spike durability at plant (11.57days). The same treatment yielded maximum number of spikes (35840/ha) as well as maximum weight of rhizomes per clump (97.03g).
