Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017 and 2018 to study the effect of nutrient management practices on yield and nutrient uptake of pearl millet intercropped in Melia dubia (Agri-silvi system). The experiment consisted of eight treatments and laid out in randomised block design with three replications. The treatments are T1-Control (no fertilizer and manure), T2-100% RDF through normal urea, T3-100% RDF through neem coated urea, T4 75% RD N + 25% N through Poultry manure, T5 75% RD N + 25% N through FYM, T6 75% RD N + Pongamia green leaf manure @ 10 t ha^-1, T7 75% RD N + Azotobacter @ 500 g ha^-1, T8 Sole crop without trees (100% RDF). Results of the experiment showed that sole crop of pearl millet recorded significantly higher grain yield, stover yield and nutrient uptake followed by 100% RDF through neem coated urea under Melia dubia. Among the integrated nutrient management treatments 75% RD N + Pongamia green leaf manure @ 10 t ha^-1 registered higher yield and nutrient uptake of pearl millet compared to other treatments.
