A field experiment was conducted during 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agriculture University, Bikaner, Rajasthan, to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and succeeding pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] crop. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with 3 replications comprising different treatment combinations. Incorporation of 75% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 5 t farmyard manure (FYM)/ha + Azotobacter + phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in wheat, significantly increased yield attributes and yield (4.12 t/ha) of wheat and uptake of nutrients (N, P, K) in both grain and straw of wheat, but remained at par with 100% RDF + 5 t FYM/ha + Azotobacter + PSB. The yield of succeeding pearl millet was significantly higher under all INM (integrated nutrient management) treatments applied in preceding wheat over the control and 100% RDF.
