An investigation was undertaken at the Department of Horticulture, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar during 2010-2011, to study the effect of different combination organic manures, consortium bio-fertilizers and bio-stimulants on seed yield, dry matter production, oil content and plant nutrient uptake in Ambrette (Abelmoschusmoschatus Medic.). The results revealed that among the treatments, the combination of vermicompost @ 7.5 t ha-1 + consortium bio-fertilizers @ 2 kg ha-1 + foliar spray of panchakavya @ 3 per cent recorded the highest number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, pod yield per plot, seed yield per plant, seed yield per plot as compared to the control. Similar trend was observed for dry matter production, oil content of seeds and leaf chlorophyll content. As regard to plant nutrient uptake, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake were higher in the treatment of vermicompost7.5 t ha-1, consortiumbioferilizer@ 2 kg ha-1 and pachakavya 3 per cent as foliar spray.
