Abstract: Integrated nitrogen management,humic and fulvic acids on performance of sesame (Sesamum indicum)were studied with different nutrient sources viz., 100% recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic fertilizer with 1% foliar spray of humic acid and fulvic acid at branching and flowering; 75% recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic fertilizer with 25% nitrogen through farm yard manure, vermicompost and poultry manure and 1% foliar spray of humic acid and fulvic acid at branching and flowering.100% recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic fertilizer with 1% foliar spray of humic acid at branching and flowering had significant effect on growth attributes of sesame such as plant height (169.3 cm), number of branches/plant (5.36), number of capsules/plant (107.71), number of seeds/capsule (53.75)at harvest and seed yield/plant (12.07 g) Significantly higher seed yield of 1058 kg ha-1 as well as higher net realization of Rs.36664ha-1 and benefit cost ratio of 2.33 were realized with this treatment.
