Abstract: The field experiment was conducted at the field unit AICRN on Potential Crops, MRS, Hebbal, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru during late kharif 2017 to study the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on growth and growth indices of Grain Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.). The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with 12 treatments replicated thrice. Treatments include different combination of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients along with bio-fertilizers. The results revealed that application of 100% RDF along with bio-fertilizers recorded significantly higher plant height (126 cm plant-1), number of leaves (21.8 plant-1), leaf area (4220.78 cm2 plant-1), total dry matter (72.07 g plant-1) and Growth indices like LAI (6.25), LAD (161.31 days), AGR (1.26 g plant-1 day-1) and CGR (18.74 g m-2 day-1).
