Incorporation of manures improves soil health, soil fertility and restores degraded soils. The current study was carried out at the College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, to know the effect of inorganic fertilizers along with manures and the residual effect of manures on the subsequent crop. The experimental design adopted for the study was split plot involving four inorganic fertilizer treatments (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) in the main plot and 5 treatments in sub plots (control, 10 t ha-1 SS, 20 t ha-1 SS, 10 t ha-1 FYM, and 20 t ha-1 FYM). The increase in fresh fruit yield, plant dry matter and fruit dry matter of bhendi, fresh root yield, leaves dry matter and root dry matter of carrot was observed with increase in doses of inorganic fertilizers and manures. Above all the highest yield was recorded with the application of 20 t ha-1 SS and 100 per cent RDF. The residual effect of manures was significant in carrot. Hence, it is concluded that the application of inorganic fertilizers along with manures improves soil health and shows significant effect on the subsequent crop yield.
