Abstract: The experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-2016 at Research Farm of the Department of Agriculture, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab India to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on nutrient uptake and grain yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under irrigated conditions. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven integrated nutrient management treatments namely, 50% RDF, 50% RDF + Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1), 100% RDF + Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1), 100% RDF + Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1) + PSB, 75% RDF + Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1) + PSB, 75% RDF + PSB and 50% RDF + PSB, with three replications for each treatment. The maximum improvement in yield attributes and yield of crop were recorded with the application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1) + PSB which was at par with 75% RDF + Vermicompost (2t ha^-1) + PSB and100% RDF +Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1). Similarly, maximum highest nutrient uptake was recorded with the application of treatments having 100% RDF + Vermicompost (2 t ha^-1) + PSB.
