A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Gulbarga on vertisols during Kharif season of 2000, 2001 and 2002 to study the response of pigeonpea to conjunctive use of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The results revealed that application of FYM @ 5t ha-1 + Seed inoculation with Rhizobium  + Micronutrient (ZnSo4 @ 15 kg  ha-1) + crop residue @ 5t ha-1 recorded significantly higher plant height (184.09), primary branches (12.34), secondary branches (7.86) per plant, seed yield (15.81 q ha-1) and was on par with the treatment receiving FYM + Seed inoculation with Rhizobium + Micronutrient (ZnSO4 @ 15 Kg ha-1).
