A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2024-25 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, PRSU, Prayagraj (U.P). The experiment laid out in a Randomized block Design (RBD) along with two factor organic and inorganic fertilizer. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.4), low in organic carbon (0.30%), available N (65.5 kg/ha), Three organic viz., FYM 10 t ha-1, Vermicompost 3 t ha-1, Poultry manure 2 t ha-1 Three inorganic fertilizer viz., 60:30:20 @ NPK kg ha-1, 80:40:30 @ NPK kg ha-1,100:50:40 @ NPK kg ha-1 as sub-plot factor their combination of Ten treatments which are replicated thrice. The results of experiment based on the analysis were recorded in treatment combinations FYM 10 t ha-1 + 60:30:20 @ NPK kg ha-1; FYM 10 t ha-1 + 80:40:30 @ NPK kg ha-1; FYM 10 t ha-1 + 100:50:40 @ NPK kg ha-1; Vermicompost 3t ha-1 + 60:30:20 @ NPK kg ha-1; Vermicompost 3t ha-1 + 80:40:30 @ NPK kg ha-1; Vermicompost 3 t ha-1 + 100:50:40 @ NPK kg ha-1; Poultry manure 2 t ha-1 + 60:30:20 @ NPK kg ha-1; Poultry manure 2t ha-1 + 80:40:30 @ NPK kg ha-1; Poultry manure 2 t ha-1 + 100:50:40 @ NPK kg ha-1;T10 - Control. The highest growth attribute parameters; Plant height per plant (120.76 cm), plant dry weight (45.91g), Crop growth rate (7.211g/m2/day), Crop growth rate (0.007g/g/day), leaf area index (3.71), Number of branches per plant (24.48), Root length (11.97cm), yield components of quinoa by application of T9- Poultry manure 2 t ha-1 + 100:50:40 @ NPK kg ha-1 was recorded significantly higher viz., number of panicle/plant (19.58), length of panicle (23.68 cm), test weight (2.94 g), seed yield (2.91 t/ha), straw yield (9.92 t/ha), biological yield (12.83 t/ha) and harvest index (22.68%), Economics calculation was recorded highest cost of cultivation (62063.23 Rs), gross return (288369.13 Rs), net return (226305.90 Rs) and benefit cost ratio (3.65) as compared to other treatments. Since, the finding based on the research done in one season.
