Abstract: A field experiment conducted during Summer 2016 entitled, “Response of brinjal to integrated nutrient management in lateritic soils of konkan region†at Dapoli. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) comprising eleven treatment combinations replicated thrice and observations were recorded at 60, 90 days after transplanting (DAT) and after harvest. The effect of different inorganic fertilizers and organic manures viz., FYM and vermicompost either alone or in combinations on growth attributing characters and yield of brinjal (cv., Bandhtivare local) were studied. The growth attributing characters and yield of brinjal increased gradually from transplanting to harvest of the brinjal crop. The combined application of 25 % RDF through inorganics and 75% RDN through vermicompost (T9) was found to be responsible for producing beneficial effect on growth attributing characters (viz., plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight of brinjal plant, dry weight of brinjal plant, number of branches, and root length) and yield of brinjal plant. It was closely followed by the treatment (T6) 25 % RDF through inorganic fertilizers and 75 % RDN through FYM indicating integration is a need of future for growth and maximising yield of brinjal.
