Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of organic manures and chemical fertilizers
on yield, nutrient uptake by finger millet and soil fertility status at harvest during kharif 2013 at Agricultural Research
Station, Perumallapalle, ANGRAU. The results revealed that significantly highest grain yield (37.21 q ha-1), protein
content (8.82%), N uptake (84.80 kg ha-1), P uptake (12.04 kg ha-1), No. of tillers/plant (2.5), No. of fingers/ear head
(13) were recorded in inorganic treated plot when compared with organic treated plot (35.08 q ha-1 of grain yield,
8.61% of protein content,75.29 kg ha-1 of N uptake, 11.58 kg ha-1 of P uptake, 2.2 tillers/plant, 11 fingers/earhead).
Organic carbon content in soil was increased in organic plot (0.02% only) when compared with intial value. In both
the treatments available N was reduced and available K was increased when compared with initial available N and K.
