Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2017 on sandy loam soils of Dryland Farm of S. V. Agricultural College, Tirupati campus of Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block design with ten treatments and replicated thrice. Among the integrated nutrient management practices, application of 75 % RDF + Poultry Manure (PM) @ 2 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSB @ 5 kg ha-1 produced higher yield attributes (number of earheads m-2, length of earhead, weight of grains earhead-1, 1000 grain weight), yield (Grain yield, stover yield and harvest index) and quality parameters (protein, carbohydrate) in pearlmillet. However, it was comparable with application of 75 % RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSB @ 5 kg ha-1 (T5). Application of 50 % RDF + FYM @ 7.5 t ha-1 (T7), registered the lowest values of yield attributes, yield and quality parameters.
