Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, (U.P.) during the winter season 2014-2015. The results revealed that treatments T13 (Azotobactor + PSB +PMB + 100% doses of NPK) had significant response most of the traits studied. The maximum plant height (29.80 cm), number of leaves/plant (600.60) number of branches/plant (20.00), plant spread (54.30 cm), first flower bud emergence (53.06, diameter of flower/(8.26 cm), number of flowers/plant (76.93), weight of fresh flower (1.05g) and weight of dry flower (0.81g) were produced by the treatment T13 (Azotobactor + PSB +PMB + 100% doses of NPK).
