An experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) and comprising eleven treatments combination with three replications. The results revealed that the treatment T₈-80% RDF + Cow urine @ 4 Liter/plant in two split doses significantly maximum growth parameters pseudostem height (263.64 cm), pseudostem circumference (76.69 cm), number of green leaves per plant (12.74), peduncle length of male bud (46.68 cm), peduncle width of male bud (20.27 cm), male bud size (33.54 cm length and 32.74cm girth) and decreasing days taken from planting to shooting (241.38), days taken from inflorescence emergence to harvesting (97.03) and plant crop cycle (338.41). Followed by T₇ – 100% RDF + Cow urine @ 2 Liter/plant in two split doses and T₆ – 80% RDF + Vermiwash @ 4 Liter/plant in two split doses during both the years 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively.
