The field experiments were conducted at the Instructional Farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Raigarh (C.G.). During rabi 2016-17on Inceptisol to study the response of integrated nutrient management (INM) on growth, yield and economics of mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) comprising nine treatments with three applications. The results revealed that significantly better growth and yield attributes i.e. plant height (141.33 cm), no. siliqua plant-1 (249.67) and seed yield (1545.30 kg ha-1) was obtained with combined application of T5 [RDF + Vermicompost 3 t ha-1 + FYM 5 t ha-1 + Azotobactor + PSB] with all the treatments over control. The application of T5 [RDF + Vermicompost 3 t ha-1 + FYM 5 t ha-1 + Azotobactor + PSB] was also found significantly higher gross cost (30750.00 Rs ha-1) and gross return (57176.00 Rs ha-1) over rest of the treatments. While, net return (29856.00 Rs ha-1) was significantly higher with application of T9 [75 % RDF + Vermicompost 3 t ha-1 + FYM 5 t ha-1 +Azotobactor + PSB] over rest of the treatments except at par with T5 [RDF + Vermicompost 3 t ha-1 + FYM 5 t ha-1 + Azotobactor + PSB]. The highest benefit cost ratio (B: C ratio) was observed of mustard (3.93) with the application of T6 [75 % RDF (75: 60:30: 22.5 ha- 1 NPKS)].
