A field trial was conducted during Kharif season of 2016 at Central Experiment Station, Wakawali to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield, dry matter, nutrient content as well as nutrient uptake by ridge gourd cv. Konkan Harita in coastal region of Maharashtra. The results of the experiment showed that the yield, dry matter of plant and major nutrients i.e., N, P, K, and secondary nutrients i.e., Ca, Mg, S in plant increased with integrated use of manures, fertilizers and biofertilizer. Among the various treatments, the treatment receiving an integration of manure, fertilizers and biofertilizer viz. 50 per cent recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) + 50 % N through poultry manure + P and K + Azotobacter @ 250 g 10 kg-1 seed recorded significantly highest yield (16.64 t ha-1), dry matter (14.89 q ha-1) content and nutrient content of N (1.53 %), P (0.17 %) and K (2.40 %), as well as N (30.33 kg ha-1), K (3.37 kg ha-1) and K (47.40 kg ha-1) uptake by ridge gourd plant.
