An experiment was conducted in shallow black soil of Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh during winter season of 1996 and 1997, to find out the effect of fertilizers on the growth, yield and quality of blond psyllium or isabgol (Plantago ovata Forskaal). Maximum plant height, number of spike-bearing tillers and length of spikes were recorded at 25 kg N/ha without P application. Higher seed yield by 30% was obtained at 25 kg N/ha compared with the control. Phosphorus and cultures did not affect plant attributes and seed yield and differents treatments did not show beneficial effect on the swelling factor and mucilage of isabgol seed. As such 25 kg N/ha without P was found to be the most optimum and economic dose to realize maximum profit and benefit.
