The present investigation was undertaken at Post Graduate Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Kolhapur during rabi 2016 with the objective to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and economics of wheat in Inceptisol. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and ten treatments. Studies revealed that the growth characters, yield attributes, grain and stover yields were influenced significantly due to conjunctive use of different organic manures with inorganic fertilizers. Amongst different treatments, the highest plant height (91.13 cm), total number of tillers meter-1 (412), length of panicle (8.40 cm), number of grains panicle-1 (36), thousand grain weight (41.83 g), grain weight panicle-1 (1.92 g), grain (43.43 q ha-1) and stover (62.33 q ha-1) yields, gross monetary returns (82.22 thousand₹. ha-1) and B: C ratio (2.98) were recorded in treatment T4 i.e. with application of 75% inorganic RDN + 25% RDN through PMC + RD of P2O5 and K2O, which was at par with treatment T2. The results of the present investigation indicate that it is possible to replace 25% inorganic nitrogen through organic manures viz: PMC, VC and FYM with maintaining yield and organic carbon status of soil.
