observation on plant growth attributes viz., vine length, number of branches per
plant, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, leaf area index and dry matter
production and physiological attributes viz., chlorophyll content and
photosynthetic rate, flowering attributes viz., days taken for first male flower and
female flower emergence, total number of male and female flowers per plant and
fruit set percentage and yield attributes viz., number of fruits per vine, length of
fruit and fruit yield were recorded. All the treatments significantly influenced the
growth, physiological, flowering and yield attributes. The results revealed that the
recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers and vermiwash (1:5 dilution) (T4) was
found to be superior with higher fruit yield of 31.64 t ha-1 which was followed with
fertilizers and vermiwash (1:5 dilution) as foliar spray with the yield of 29.61 t ha-1.
