Abstract
Field experiment was conducted on a sandy clay loam to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield, nutrient content in seed, nutrient uptake and nutrient availability for field pea cv. <italic>Rachna</italic> under subtropical conditions. The yield of 30 q ha<sup>–1</sup> was observed in the treatment in which <italic>Rhizobium</italic> inoculated seeds were used in conjunction with 50 per cent recommended dose of NPKS and 20 t FYM ha<sup>–1</sup>. Maximum gross return (Rs 36000.0 ha<sup>–1</sup>) net returns (Rs 19,352.90 ha<sup>–1</sup>) and B:C ratio (2:16) were also observed in the same treatment. The highest nutrient content and uptake in seed were noticed with the application of 50 per cent NPKS + 20 tFYM ha<sup>–1</sup> + 20 g <italic>Rhizobium</italic> kg<sup>–1</sup> seed compared to other treatments. The available N, P, K and S increased with the application of 100 per cent NPKS + FYM 20 t ha<sup>–1</sup> with biofertilizer.
