Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif and Rabi season of the year 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, to study the influence of integrated nutrient management on yield and nutrient uptake in sorghum-barley sequence. Two levels of farmyard manure (FYM) (0 and 10 tonnes/ha), four fertility levels based on soil test recommendation (0%, 50%, 75% and 100% NPK) and four biofertilizers (No inoculation, Azotobacter, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and dual inoculation of Azotobacter + PSB) were compared. Application of FYM 10t/ha significantly increased grain (28.16 & 16.40%) and stover (12.11 & 19.93%) yields of both the crops alongwith nutrient uptake (NPK) over the control. The residual effect of FYM 10t/ha on succeeding crop barley and also significantly increasing grain and straw yield was 16.40% & 19.93% over control. The Addition of FYM 10 tonnes/ha residual effect of FYM on sequence crop were significantly improvement of the yields and nutrient uptake. Significant enhancement in grain (27.87 and 20.09%) and stover (12.46 and 15.15%) yields were observed sorghum-barley sequences with the application Azotobacter + PSB over no inoculation. Application of 100 % NPK increased grain (45.14 and 23.43%) and stover (12.26 and 13.19%) yields both the crops over the control. Improvement in N, P and K uptake in sorghum (41.07, 29.13 and 21.10%) alongwith barley (31.98, 25.95 and 23.23%) were also observed with application of 100% NPK over control
