ABSTRACT The present study aimed to compare the effect of various treatments on growth and biomass formation in Hedychium spicatum. The methodology consisted of the application of different organic substrates in f ive treatments of 100 seeds with three repetitions (T1: Pure Garden Soil (GS) (control), T2: Pure garden soil + Farmyard manure (FYM) (1: 1), T3: GS + Litter + FYM (2: 1: 1), T4: GS + FYM + Vermicompost (2: 1: 1), T5: GS + Litter + vermicompost (2: 1: 1). The vari ables recorded were Germination, and only was taken three Plants for Plant height, Number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, above ground and below ground biomass. These data were analyzed with an anova (p
