Background: Blackgram being important crop among pulse is gaining popularity and thus requiring suitable production practices especially under organic farming. In this context, study was proposed with the objective to investigate optimal nutrient management in blackgram by utilizing various sources. Methods: Field experiments were conducted at two different locations spilt plot design. The treatments consisted of 4 levels manure viz., Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @ 12.5 t ha-1, Vermicompost (VC) 2.5 Enriched FYM (EFYM) 750 kg ha-1 VC (EVC) 1 as main five foliar spray liquid sprays Panchagavya 3% Fermented egg extract (FEE), fish (FFE), Farmers effective microorganisms (FEM), Jeevamruth each 5%. Result: Results revealed that application EFYM VC, produced higher yield parameters grain yield, respectively addition site-I II. Among sub plots has along both sites. manures economic returns obtained sites while better or FEM site-II.
