A field experiment was carried out during kharif season for the two consecutive years 2007 and 2008 using the same layout on fixed site at Crop Research Centre of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in pigeonpea based intercropping system under tarai condition. Number of leaves/ plant, nodules number and weight/plant, yield attributes, protein content and protein yield of pigeonpea and intercrop (urdbean) were higher in pigeonpea + urdbean cropping system with PSB + FYM. Pigeonpea + urdbean intercropping system recorded the highest system productivity. Similarly, significant improvement in grain yield of pigeonpea, urdbean and maize, and PEY were recorded with application of PSB and FYM (5.0 t/ ha). The highest net return and B: C ratio was obtained under pigeonpea + urdbean cropping system and with the application of PSB + FYM/ha.
