Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at field no. 6 Student’s Instructural Farm at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during the Kharif season 2017 to find out integrated nutrient management effect on maize with ten treatments i.e. T₁ (125% RDN), T₂ (100% RDN), T₃ (100% RDN + 25% N FYM), T₄ (100% RDN + 25% N FYM + S₃₀)_, T₅ (100% RDN + 25% N FYM + S₃₀ + Zn₅)_, T₆ (75% RDN), T₇ (75% RDN + 25% N FYM), T₈ (75% RDN + 25% N FYM + S₃₀)_, T₉ (75% RDN + FYM + S₃₀ + Zn₅)_, T₁₀ (Control) in RBD with 3 replications. Maize variety Azad Uttam was taken for study. The result showed highest protein content (8.99%) in treatment T₅ and lowest protein content (7.62%) in treatment T₁. Economically the Net returns range is 20687 to 43306 Rs/ha and benefit cost ratio range 1.84 to 2.16 respectively. The treatment combination T₅ (100% RDN + 25% N FYM + S₃₀ + Zn₅) gave the best result in terms of crop quality and economics of crop.
