Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi of 2017-2018 to assess the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield attributes of black carrot at Experimental Farm of Division of Vegetable Science SKUAST-K Shalimar. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design in which different combinations of inorganic fertilizers, organic manures and biofertilizers were applied constituting nine treatments and were replicated thrice. Results revealed that among the different treatment combinations, treatment T9 (50%N+25%P&K+PSB+KSB+ 50%VC) recorded the higher values for shoot length at different intervals i.e., from 30 DAS (11.70 cm) till 90 DAS (46.86 cm), absolute growth rate from 30-45 DAS (0.46 g day-1) till 75-90 DAS (0.87g day-1), root length from 30 DAS (10.98 cm) till 90 DAS (30.99 cm), average root diameter (4.92 cm), average root weight (148.85 g), average shoot weight (75.27 g), root to shoot ratio (1.97), root yield per plot (23.81 kg) and root yield per hectare (285.79 q).
