The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of organic and inorganic nutrient management on the growth and yield parameters of glory lily. A field trial was conducted in a Randomized block design with seven different combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers viz., T1: Recommended dose of fertilizer 100 % NPK 120:50:75 kg ha-1 (control), T2: 75% RDF+FYM @12.5 t ha-1, T3: 75% RDF+ vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1, T4: 50% RDF + FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1, T5: 50% RDF + vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1, T6: 75% RDF + FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1+ vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 and T7: 50% RDF + FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1 + vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1. The result of the present study revealed that 75% of NPK 90:38:56 kg ha-1 along with FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1 and vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 was found to be superior in improving the growth and yield characters like plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, number of flowers, number of pods, pod yield per plant, pod yield per plot, seed yield per plant and estimated seed yield per hectare in glory lily.
