 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif and Rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 to study the influence of integrated nutrient management in rice-wheat cropping system, comprising inorganic fertilizers and organic manures on growth and soil fertility status, three organic manures, FYM, Sesbania aculeate and wheat cut straw were added  with the recommended dose of NPK fertilizers. The higher plant height (86 cm) of rice was found in the treatment T6 receiving 50% NPK through fertilizers and 50% N through FYM but the tallest plant height (98.4 and 98.2) of wheat was noted in T10 and T6 (50% NPK + 50% N FYM/ SesbaniaGM in rice and 100% NPK in wheat). The treatment T6 also gave the highest available nitrogen in soil after harvest of the crop.
