A long term field experiment on sorghum–sunflower cropping sequence was conducted at Marathwada Agriculture University, Parbhani from 1997-2001 on vertisols to study integrated nutrient management with inorganic fertilizers in conjunction with organic sources (farm yard manure, wheat straw, green manure, press mud, compost). Pooled data of 1997-1998 to 2000-2001 in respect of grain yield indicated that substitution of 50% recommended N through organic sources (FYM / PMC / WS / GM) and 100% recommended NPK dose and micronutrient dose through inorganic fertilizer to sorghum resulted in higher grain productivity in sorghum–sunflower sequence cropping.
