Description The experiment was taken up to elicit the information on effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, seed yield and quality parameters of fenugreek cv. Lam methi-2 to predict the best nutrient combination. Experiment was carried out during rabi of 2012-2013 at Horticultural College & Research Institute, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. The studies were carried out with 12 different INM treatments involving combinations of 100% recommended dose of fertilizers, 75% and 50% doses of inorganic fertilizers along with organic manures viz.,farm yard manure, vermicompost, poultry manure, neem cake and biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB). The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications and data on the effect of different INM treatments on growth, dry matter production, yield, yield attributes, quality, nutrient uptake, residual fertility and economics of cultivation were recorded and statistically analyzed. The application of 50% RDF through inorganic fertilizer and 50% through organic source (neem cake) along with Rhizobium and PSB inoculation (T11) had resulted in maximum plant height, more branches, maximum plant spread, highest dry matter production at all growth stages and also recorded minimum days for 50% flowering, first pod formation, 50% pod formation and more number of pods plant-1. The highest yield per hectare and yield attributes like pod length (cm), more number of seeds per pod, highest grain filling and grain shelling

percentage, test weight of seed, seed yield and harvest index were recorded with 50% RDF through inorganic source and 50% through organic source (poultry manure) along with biofertilizers Rhizobium + PSB (T9). The quality attributes viz., germination percentage, speed of germination were found non significant irrespective of the INM treatments. Whereas, significantly maximum seedling length, highest seedling vigour index, maximum seedling dry weight and highest protein content of seed were recorded with the application of 50% RDF through inorganic source and 50% through organic source (poultry manure) along with biofertilizers Rhizobium + PSB (T9). The highest nutrient uptake and residual fertility status of available nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium were recorded with the application of 50% RDF through inorganic source and 50% through organic source (poultry manure) along with biofertilizers Rhizobium + PSB (T9). The different INM treatments were observed to profoundly influence the gross and net returns in addition to benefit : cost ratio of fenugreek cultivation. The treatment 50% RDF through inorganic source and 50% through organic source (poultry manure) along with biofertilizers Rhizobium + PSB (T9) resulted in the highest benefit cost ratio of 1:1.51 followed by 1:1.35 in the combination of 75% RDF through inorganic source and 25% through organic source (poultry manure) along with biofertilizers Rhizobium + PSB (T8).
