Each treatment combination has shown significant effects on most of the parameters, but the combination of vermicompost and PSB showed highest plant height (23.59 cm), leaves plant-1 (12.67), primary branches plant-1 (10.50), secondary branches plant-1 (27.35), first flowering (61.06 days), flowers plant-1 (15.33), first fruit setting (72.80 days) and fruits plant-1 (8.33). Similarly, the treatments combination of vermicompost and PSB significantly affected the Total Soluble Solids (TSS) (10.75°
