An experiment was carried out on nutrient management in broccoli at Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station, Keonjhar, Odisha for two years. The test crop received four manure treatments: namely (i) no manure, (ii) FYM @10 t/ha, (iii) vermicompost (VC) @ 5 t/ha, (iv) FYM @ 5 t/ha + VC @ 2.5 t/ha, which are super imposed with six treatments, namely: (i) control (ii) bioinoculants (BI) alone (iii) 75% NPK (iv) 100% NPK, (v) 75% NPK + BI (vi) 100% NPK + BI. The maximum yield of curd (139.49 q /ha) was recorded at 100% NPK + bioinoculants along with FYM @ 5 t/ha and vermicompost (VC) @ 2.5 t/ha. The N uptake varied between 3.5-98.8 kg/ ha, phosphate 0.4-12.0 kg/ ha and potash 2.0-53.3 kg/ ha. The highest amount of nutrients was removed at optimum dose of fertilizers and the lowest in absolute control. The highest recovery of nutrients (58.6% N, 47% P, and 17.6% K) was when the crop applied with VC alone or 50% each of FYM and VC.Abstract
