Abstract: The success of future agriculture depends upon sustainability of production systems. The integrated nutrients management sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of chemical inputs with adverse effects. By considering above facts a field experiment was carried out during the kharif season 2018-19, at departmental farm of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Latur. The experiment was laid out in RBD with 10 treatment combination along with three replications. Application of organic materials along with inorganic fertilizers in the soil leads to sustained productivity and fertility. Corn being an exhaustive crop, its requirement for fertilizers especially for nitrogen is very high. The results of field trial on response of sweet corn to application of chemical fertilizers along with organic manure and inoculation of liquid biofertilizers showed beneficial effect on growth parameters, nutrient uptake, yield and quality of sweet corn on low nitrogen and phosphorus content in inceptisol as compared to applied treatments content only chemical fertilizer. The growth parameter viz. root length and chlorophyll content significantly improved due to application of organic, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers found superior with treatments T₁₀ -125% RDF + FYM @ 5t ha^-1 + PSB followed T₇ -125% RDF + FYM @ 5t ha^-1 + Azospirillum respectively.
