An investigation was undertaken on the “Effect of nutrient management through bio-organic manures on fruit yield and its attributes of acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle)” in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar, Tamil Nadu, India during 2016 - 2018. The experiment was conducted with organic manures and biofertilizers along with inorganic fertilizers which were applied with different treatment combinations viz., T1 – Control, T2-100% RDF (400:200:220 g/ plant), T3-75% RDF, T4-50% RDF, T5- 75% RDF + 100% FYM ( 20 kg/plant), T6- 75% RDF + 100% Vermicompost (10 kg/plant), T7- 75% RDF + 50% FYM + 50% Vermicompost, T8-75% RDF + 50% FYM + 50%Vermicompost + Biofertilizers (25g Azotobacter + 25g PSB + 150g VAM), T9- 50% RDF + 100% FYM, T10- 50% RDF + 100% Vermicompost, T11- 50% RDF + 75% FYM + 75% Vermicompost, T12- 50% RDF + 75% FYM + 75% Vermicompost + Biofertilizers (25g Azotobacter + 25g PSB +150g VAM). There were twelve treatments replicated thrice in Randomized block design (RBD). The yield characters of plant were significantly influenced by inorganic fertilizers along with organic manures and biofertilizers. The maximum number of fruits per plant (992.49), fruit weight (49.63 g), yield per tree (49.26 kg) and yield per hectare ( 13.64 tonnes) were recorded under T12 - 50% RDF + 75% FYM + 75 % Vermicompost + Biofertilizers (25g Azotobacter + 25g PSB + 150g VAM ). The lowest values were obtained under control.
