A study was conducted for two consecutive years 2007 and 2008 to ascertain the effect of rational integration of organic and inorganic nutrient resources on yield, quality and soil fertility under high density planting system of apple cv. Red delicious. Maximum fruit yield (32.34kg/tree) was recorded with treatment (T4) when phosphorus was applied 50% through bone meal + 50% P through FYM and remaining N and K through urea and muriate of potash followed by treatments T3, T7 and T1. Maximum nutrient content in leaf and available nutrient buildup in soil was observed in integrated management practices of over the control
