A field experiment was carried out during 1997 98 and 1998 99 to study the effect of nutrient management on crop productivity and soil fertility in clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taubertl wheat ( riticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) cropping systems. The highest clusterbean seed yield (608 kg/ha) was obtained under FYM 2.50 tonnesfha N,,P2, (10 kg N and 25 kg P,O,/ha). Grain yield of succeeding wheat crop increased by 292 and 427 kgfha with the residue of FYM 5 tonnesfha than the residue of N2,P, kgfha and control respectively. Application of FYM 5 tonneslha to the preced ng crop of clusterbean increased wheat grain equivalent yield by 20% over the control. The highest benefit : cost ratio (3.63) and net returns over the control (Rs 5,040) were also accrued with the application of FYM 5 tonnesfha in clusterbean wheat cropping systems.References
