Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at the Main Forage Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand in 2012 during summer season to find out the “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, content and uptake of nutrients in forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). The field experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. In the experiment there were total twelve treatments comprising of three N and P treatment and nine bio-fertilizers treatments.The results indicated that the treatment T6 (100-40 N-P kg ha-1 + Azospirillum) gave significantly highest HCN content (46.68%) and was at par with treatments T3 (45.41%), T12 (44.89%), T9 (43.90%), T11 (43.60%) and T8 (42.14%). The increase in the HCN content was 15.40% under treatment T6 over treatment T2. Significantly lower HCN content T1 (35.23%) was recorded under treatment T1 (60-40 N-P kg ha-1). HCN content increased with increasing N levels. In light of the results it is concluded that the application of 100-40 N-P kg ha-1 + Azospirillum recorded maximum HCN content of forage sorghum variety (GFS-4) along with sustaining soil fertility at harvest under middle Gujarat conditions.
