Background: To find out the suitable integrated nutrient management (INM) package for successful black gram production and to investigate the application of INM on growth, yield, quality and nutrient content of black gram (Vigna mungo L.). Methods: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2019-20, the experiment was laid out in randomized block design with factorial concept having three factors viz,, three fertility levels (75%, 100% and 125% RDF), two FYM level (control and 5 ton FYM ha-1) and three biofertilizers level (Rhizobium, LMn16 and Rhizobium + LMn16) was applied to the variety MU-2 (Mukundra Urad 2). Result: The results indicated that application of higher fertility level like 125% RDF significantly increased all the yield parameters, nutrient content and uptake. Similarly, all the yield parameters, nutrient content and uptake significantly increased under application of FYM (5 ton ha-1) and bio fertilizer (Rhizobium + LMn16) over control plot and sole application of Rhizobium and LMn16 respectively.
