Abstract: A field experiment entitled, “Integrated nitrogen management in summer sesamum (Sesamum indicum L.)†was conducted at Post Graduate Research Farm, Agronomy Section, RCSM College of Agriculture, Kolhapur during summer 2018 on sandy loam soil. The nine treatments consisting of GRDF (T1), no fertilizer (T9), 100% RDN (50 kg N ha-1) through inorganic fertilizer (T2), combination of 75% RDN through inorganic fertilizer + 25% N through organic sources viz., FYM (T3), vermicompost (T4), neem cake (T5). Similarly, 75% RDN through inorganic fertilizer + 25% N were equally applied (12.5% + 12.5%) through combination of organic sources viz., FYM + vermicompost (T6), FYM + neem cake (T7) and vermicompost + neem cake (T8) in randomized block design replicated thrice. Result revealed that 100% RDF (50:00:00 kg NPK ha-1) through inorganic fertilizer + 5 t FYM ha-1 recorded numerically higher nutrient NPK content in grain and straw as well as oil and protein content in grain of sesamum. Treatment % RDF (50:00:00 kg NPK ha-1) through inorganic fertilizer + 5 t FYM ha-1 registered significantly higher total uptake of nutrient NPK by sesamum crop as well as oil and protein yield over rest of the treatment.
