The field experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The treatments comprised of three varieties of oat (Kent, JHO 822, JHO 851) as the main plot treatments and nine integrated nutrient management viz., 50 % of Recommended dose of Fertilizer (RDF) (F1), 75 % of RDF (F2), 100 % of RDF (F3), 50 % of RDF + Vermi Compost (F4), 50 % of RDF + Azotobactor (F5), 50 % of RDF + Vermi Compost + Azotobactor (F6), 75 % of RDF + Vermi Compost (F7), 75 % of RDF + Azotobactor (F8) and 75 % of RDF + VermiCompost + Azotobactor (F9) as the sub plot treatments. The growth parameters of oat crop like plant height, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation plant-1 were in general increased in all the treatments with the successive growth stages. The integrated nutrient management with application of proved most beneficial in enhancing all these growth parameters of oat crops. Green fodder and dry matter production were increased significantly up to (456.33 and 466.78 q ha-1) and (97.01 and 98.79 q ha-1) respectively, with the application of 75 % of RDF + Vermi Compost + Azotobactor during both the years. The quality of fodder with respect to integrated nutrient management in plant in terms of protein content improved significantly due to application of 75 % of RDF + Vermi Compost + Azotobactor during both the years.
