A field experiment was carried out during kharif session of 2019-20 and 2020-21 at the Dryland Horticulture Farm, Sirsod, Gwalior (M.P.) to study the effect of biofertilizers and GA3 on growth, yield and economics of drumstick. Application of 75% RDF (NPK) alongwith 50 g VAM fungi and 20 ppm GA3 spray resulted in maximum growth, yield-attributes, seed yield and economics from drumstick var. Bhagya. The maximum growth parameters were 13.44 m plant height 13.07 branches/tree, leaflets 18.56/branch, 48.03 cm trunk girth and 10.49 LAI. The yield attributes were 138.74 flowers/cluster, 63.69 fruit sets, 162 pods/tree, 62.71 cm pod length, 44.74 pod of diameter and 15.31 seeds/pod. The total seed yield was 20.56 kg/tree alongwith maximum seed protein (21.41 %), monetary return upto Rs.3588/tree with 6.32 B:C ratio. The second and third best treatments were 75% RDF + 50 g PSB + 20 ppm GA3,and 75% RDF + PMB + 20 ppm GA3 spray, respectively.
