    The document summarizes a field experiment conducted during the 2010 kharif season in India to study the effects of integrated nutrient management on quality protein maize. Sixteen treatment combinations involving four levels of enriched farmyard manure combined with varying levels of recommended fertilizer doses and four levels of biofertilizer inoculation were tested. The treatment combining farmyard manure at 10 tonnes per hectare enriched with 150% of the recommended fertilizer dose produced the highest grain yield, stover yield, harvest index, and protein content in grains compared to other treatments. Inoculation with a combination of Azotobacter and PSB biofertilizers also maximized several output measures compared to other biofertilizer treatments

    Abstract
    A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010 at Instructional farm iof Agronomy, Rajasthan college of Agriculture Udaipur to study the Integrated nutrient management on quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) cv HQPM-1.sixteen treatment combinations, comprising four levels of Enriched FYM with fertilizers viz. Conventional (FYM @ 10 t ha1 + 100% RDF),Enriched FYM + 50% RDF, Enriched FYM + 100% RDF and Enriched FYM + 150% RDF and four Biofertilizers levels.viz.Control,Azotobactor, PSB and Azotobactor + PSB were laid out factorial concept in randomized block design with three replications. The application of FYM @ 10 t ha 1 enriched with 150% RDF recorded significantly increased the grain yield (4449.52 kg ha 1), stover yield (8026.52 kg ha1),harvest index (35.64%) and protein content in grain (11.84%) over rest of the treatments. Similar trend also observed in N and P content and uptake in grain and stover and availabile N and P in soil. Seed inoculation withAzotobacter + PSB culture maximized grain yield (4368.35 kg ha1), stover yield of (873.6 kg ha1), harvest index(35.26%)and protein content in grain(12.16%),over another treatments. Similar trend also observed in N and P content and uptake in grain and stover and availabile N and P in soil.
