It revealed that the highest dry matter production (5395 kg ha-1) and nutrient uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (102.81,18.06 and 98.667 kg ha-1) was recorded with the application of 100% RDF through inorganic (80:40:50 kg of NPK ha-1) and was on par with the dosage of 75% RDF through inorganic fertilizers + 25% recommended dose of nitrogen through poultry manure and 75% RDF through inorganic fertilizers + 25% recommended dose of nitrogen through vermicompost.

KEY WORDS:

Palak, Dry matter and Nutrient uptake
