ABSTRACT
Global awareness of human health, soil health and environmental issues has attracted the vegetable growers to adopt alternate farm practices. Therefore, two years field experiments were conducted at experimental farm of Department of Vegetable Science, Dr Y.S. Parmar Univ. of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during rabi season of 2011-12 and 2012-13 to access the comparative performance of organic, inorganic, biofertilizers and integrated nutrient management (INM) on head yield, nutritional quality and nutrient uptake. The experiment was laid out in random complete block design having twenty five treatments comprised of organic (FYM, neem manure and vermicompost), inorganic (N, P and K), biofertilizers (Azotobacter and PSB) and INM (complementary use of organics, biofertilizers and inorganic fertilizers) with three replications. The pooled analysis revealed that significant head yield were obtained maximum with the treatment combination of biofertilizers with recommended dose of fertilizers. Whereas, nutritional quality characters like vitamin A, proteins and vitamin C and nutrient uptake (N, P, K, Zn, Fe except Cu and Mn) were exhibited significantly highest in treatment combination of 33.3 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers + 33.3 per cent FYM + 33.3 per cent vermicompost + biofertilizers.
