        abstract = {The field experiment was conducted at Experimental Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar (Tamil Nadu) during January-May, 2024 to study the effect of Integrated nutrient management on the growth of irrigated sorghum. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and seven treatments with sorghum CO 30 as the test variety. There were altogether seven treatments viz., T1-100% RDF (90:45:45 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1), T2-50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 , T3-50% RDF +ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + FeSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1, T4-50% RDF + Azophos @ 20 kg ha-1, T5-50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + FeSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1, T6-50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + Azophos @ 20 kg ha-1, T7-50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + FeSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Azophos @ 20 kg ha-1.The treatment T7 with 50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + FeSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Azophos @ 20 kg ha-1 recorded higher values of growth attributes viz., plant height, leaf area index and dry matter production (kg ha-1) and Crop Growth Rate (g m-2 day-1), more number of effective tillers plant -1 as compared to other treatments.},
