Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth parameters of black gram var. Mash 114 was conducted under field conditions, during (kharif) season of 2017. The research was conducted with nine treatments, in which one control, 100% recommended dose of fertilizer alone and seven treatments with combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers i.e. farm yard manure 5 t ha-1, vermi-compost 2.5 t ha-1and poultry manure 2.5t ha-1 and nitrogen 5 kg ha-1and phosphorus 11 kg ha-1respectively and Rhizobium along with bio-fertilizer as used for seed treatment. Observations were recorded on growth parameters such as plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1 and number of branches plant-1. An application of 100% recommended dose of fertilizer gave maximum plant height (51.37 cm) at 85 DAS (days after sowing), number of leaves (26.60) plant-1 and branches plant-1 14.00 at 60 DAS in treatment T1 as compared to others.
