Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of integrated nutrient management on leaf nutrient status, yield and quality of spinach (Beta vulgaris L.) var. Pusa Jyoti†was carried out during kharif 2016 – 17 (first year), 2017 – 18 (second year) and pooled at the Experimental field, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, RVSKVV, Datia (M.P.) with 16 treatment combinations of three levels of inorganic fertilizers i.e. 50% RDF (75:40:50 kg NPK ha-1), 75% RDF (112.5:60:75 kg NPK ha-1) and 100% RDF control (150:80:100 kg NPK ha-1), three organic manure i.e. 20 t FYM ha-1, 10 t vermicompost (VC) ha-1 and 7.5 t poultry manure (PM) ha-1 and two bio-fertilizers viz,. 5 kg Azotobacter (Azo) ha-1 and 5 kg PSB ha-1. Experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Results revealed that the application of 75% RDF + 10 t Vermicompost ha-1 + 5 kg PSB ha-1 + 5 kg Azotobacter ha-1 (T8) was recorded significantly maximum leaf nitrogen (51.30, 52.30 and 51.80 g kg-1), phosphorus (7.30, 8.30 and 7.80 g kg-1), potash (57.30, 58.30 and 57.80 g kg-1), vitamin ‘C’ (49.6, 51.0 and 50.30 mg 100 g-1), chlorophyll index (140.20, 141.20 and 140.70 mg 100 g-1) and leaves yield hectare-1 (252.27, 254.87 and 253.57 q ha-1) at first year, second year and pooled, respectively as compared to control.
