Field experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field at Devanur village of Ariyalur District, Tamil nadu during 2007 to 2008 to study the effect of biofarming techniques on the yield and soil fertility performance of glori lily (Gloriosa superba L.). The treatments consisted of different organic manures viz., T1-control, T2-Farm Yard Manure (FYM) at 12.5 t ha, T3Enriched Farm Yard Manure (EFYM) at 750 kg ha and T4-Pressmud compost at 5t ha. Among the organic manures, application of EFYM at 750 kg ha (T3) recorded the highest yield attributes like number of pods plant, number of seeds pod, test weight (g), seed yield and tuber yield. The N, P and K, uptake was higher with EFYM applied at 750 kg ha post harvest nutrient status of the soil, the nutrient statues was not affected when compared and control. Biofarming techniques recorded increased post harvest nutrient of N, P and K status which was recorded with FYM application at 12.5 t ha.
