Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan) to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on sorghum productivity during kharif season of 2009. Results showed that recommended dose of fertilizer recorded higher NPK uptake and content in grain and stover of sorghum. Significantly higher protein content, protein yield, grain, stover, biological yield and harvest index was 11.06 %, 431.86 kg ha⁻¹, 3910 kg ha⁻¹, 9778 kg ha⁻¹, 13688 kg ha⁻¹ and 28.56 % respectively under recommended dose fertilizer than other treatment combination.
