        abstract = {The experiment was conducted on Krishna College of Agriculture and Technology, Usilampatti, Madurai district, Tamilnadu. To study the growth and yield of bhendi by different organic sources along with liquid Bio-fertilizers and the economics of different treatment combinations. The experiment comprised of 7 treatments with three replications and used in Randomized block design (RBD). The treatments consist of T1-Control (RDF), T2-FYM @12t/ha + Azospirillum @1.25 l/ha, T3-Vermicompost@5t/ha + Azospirillum @1.25 l/ha, T4 – Sheep manure@5 t/ha + Azospirillum@1.25 l/ha, T5-FYM@ 6.5 t/ha + Phosphobacteria@1.25 l/ha, T6-Vermicompost@2.5 t/ha + Phosphobacteria @1.25 l/ha and T7-Sheep manure@2.5 t/ha + Phosphobacteria@1.25 l/ha. The growth and yield parameters of bhendi were recorded at maturity stage, among the various treatments (T4- sheep manure@5t/ha+Azospirillum@1.25l/ha) was recorded the highest plant height (82 cm,); stem girth (6.30cm); no of leaves per plant (16.67); no of fruits per plant (5.67); no of seeds per fruit (71.33); fruit length (20.23 cm) and fruit yield (4772.87 kg/ha). The Economics analyzed for the treatments total cost of the production (Rs. 13500), gross income (Rs. 95457), net income (Rs. 81957) and BCR (7.07) was recorded.},
