Abstract: A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield, nutrient uptake and economics of black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper.). Results of the experiment revealed that average pod picking-1, pod length, number of seeds pod-1, and test weight was found to be highest under T11 (50% RDF+FYM @ 2.5 t ha-1+VC @ 1.25 t ha-1+NC @ 1.25 t ha-1+PM @ 1.25 t ha-1) followed by T10 (T1+VC @ 1.5 t ha-1+PM @ 1.5 t ha-1) and T8(T1+Poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1). Based on pooled data treatment T11 recorded highest seed yield of 851.92 kg ha-1 which was statistically at par with T10 (841.46 kg ha-1), however T1 (100% RDF+Borax @ 10.0 Kg ha-1) resulted highest B:C ratio (4.61), due to lower treatment cost..
