Abstract: Field experiment entitled “Effect of integrated nutrient management in sweet corn-potato cropping sequence" was conducted during kharif and rabi season of 2014 to 2015 at Instructional Research Farm, Central Campus, Post Graduate Institute, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. Results revealed that the highest N, P and K content in grain and stover, total N, P and K uptake, protein content in grain of sweet corn were recorded in the treatment receiving T7 – 125% RDN + 25% N through VC, which were statistically at par with T6 – 125% RDN + 25% N through FYM. However, T2 - 75% RDN + 25% N through FYM proved to be the poorest source in terms of total uptake of NPK nutrients and quality parameters. The highest N, P and K content and total nutrient uptake in potato tuber and haulms and quality parameters of tubers were recorded in the plots with residual fertility of T1 – 100% GRDF, which was at par T6 – 125% RDN + 25% N through FYM. Application of FYM to preceding sweet corn led to significantly higher nutrient content and total N, P and K uptake in tuber and haulms of tubers during both the years.
