Abstract
In this study clumps with two tillers were planted with two treatment T1 (control or without fertilizer) and T2 (with NPK fertilizer). The survival percentage of vetiver clumps was found 96.354±0.354 in control and 97.916±1.802 for NPK fertilizer after 3 months. After 13 months (92.187±1.562) % and (93.750±3.125) % survivability were found in control and NPK fertilizer respectively. After 3 months average tiller increment (nos) were found 2.677±0.252 and 5.877±0.434 respectively in control and with NPK fertilizer. After 13 months the average tiller increment (nos) was found 14.522±0.691 and 21.288 ± 0.477 in control and NPK fertilizer. After 3 months observed value of ‘t’ by independent t-test was 11.022 and P-value is 0.000. After 13 months observed value of ‘t’  by independent t-test was 13.958 and P-value is 0.000. So at 5% significance level, there was a very highly significant difference between control and NPK fertilizer after 3 and 13 months in tiller increment. The average initial root and shoot lengths were 22.022±0.601 cm and 76.755±9.1499 cm during planting time in control. On the other hand, the average initial root and shoot lengths were 22.722±3.548 cm and 65.66±14.611 cm for NPK fertilizer. After 13 months the average root lengths in control and NPK fertilizer were measured 23.123±1.272 cm and 24.422±3.106 cm. The observed value of  ‘t’ by independent t-test was 0.669 and P-value was 0.540. The shoot length was measured 143.103±20.378 cm in control and 176.633±24.075 cm in NPK fertilizer. The observed value of independent ‘t’ test was 1.841 and P-value was 0.139. So at 5% significance level there was no significant difference of root and shoots growth in control and NPK fertilizer. After 13 months the mean increment of root and shoot were calculated 1.101 cm and 66.348 cm in control. In NPK fertilizer the mean increment of root and shoot length was calculated 1.7 cm and 110.973 cm.
