Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2018 at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tiruchirappalli, to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on chemical property of soil, nutrient uptake and yield of greengram. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eleven treatments having three replications. The results revealed that significantly higher number of pods plant-1 (32.73), number of seeds per pod-1 (11.07), seed yield (866 kg ha-1) and stover yield (1976 kg ha-1) and maximum uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (51.2, 11.15, and 38.13 kg ha-1 respectively) were recorded due to application of 75% RDF + Vermicompost @2t ha-1 + Bio-fertilizer. Application of 75% RDF and bio-fertilizers with vermicompost and castor cake markedly increased the available nutrient content in soil. Hence it can be concluded that the application of 75% RDF + Vermicompost @2t ha-1 + Bio-fertilizer would be useful to increase the yield of green gram and available nutrient status in sodic soil.
