Phyllanthus amarus is an important medicinal plant commonly known as Bhumyamalaki, belongs to family Euphorbiaceae. In the nursery raised seedlings of P. amarus nitrogen and phosphorus treatments were applied as: T0 Control, T1, 30 kg N/ha,T2, 40 kg N/ha, T3, 50 kg N/ha, T4, 30 kg N +50 kg P/ha, T5, 40kgN +50kgP/ha,T6,50kgN +50kgP/ha. The best results were recorded in T4 (N30∗P50) treatments as compared to others. The plants treated with N30∗P50 had highest plant height, number of branches, collar diameter, fresh and dry weight of shoot andhighest biomass.
