Abstract: An experiment was conducted during winter season of 2016-17 on Berseem (cv. Mescavi). The experiment comprised of twelve treatments <em>viz.</em> T₁(control), T₂ (100% RDF, 20 kg N + 80 kg P₂O₅ha^-1), T₃ (100% N through Farm Yard Manure (FYM), T₄ (100% N through Poultry Manure), T₅ (50% RDF +50% N through FYM), T₆ (50% RDF +50% N through Poultry Manure), T₇ (50% N through FYM+50% N through Poultry Manure), T₈ (50% RDF +25%N through FYM +25% N through Poultry Manure), T₉(75% RDF +25% N through FYM), T₁₀ (75% RDF +25% N through Poultry Manure), T₁₁(25% RDF +75% N through FYM) and T₁₂(25% RDF +75% N through Poultry Manure) were tested in Randomized Block Design with three replications. the results revealed that the maximum plant height, fresh weight of leaf and stem, dry weight of leaf and stem, shoot : root ratio plant^-1 and number of nodules plant^-1 were observed with the application of 100% RDF (20 kg N + 80 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1) fallowed by 75% RDF +25% N through poultry manure and 75% RDF +25% N through FYM.
