An investigation was conducted in Rabi season of 2015-16 at Model Organic Farm, Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh to evaluate the performance of chickpea under organic and inorganic sources of nutrients at different soil moisture regimes in chickpea-okra cropping system. The results of the study revealed that growth, yield attributes, seed and straw yield of chickpea were statistically increased with irrigated condition and nutrient management practices. Under irrigated condition, 15.20% and 16.43% higher seed yield and net returns per rupee invested, respectively were recorded over rainfed condition. Organic nutrient management recorded significantly higher chickpea seed yield (10.60 q/ha) as compared to other treatments, followed by integrated nutrient management (INM). Organic nutrient management recorded higher values of net returns of Rs. 58692 ha-1 and net returns per rupee invested of 2.05. The available nutrient status of soil (NPK) was significantly higher under organic nutrient management as compared to inorganic nutrients.
