A field experiment having randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at agronomy Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India) during the year 2013-14 to assess the effect of various nutrient sources on nutrient content uptake in grain and straw of wheat under pearlmillet-wheat cropping system. Highest nitrogen concentration and uptake was recorded in grain and straw of wheat in T6 where, application of 50% recommended dose of Nitrogen and phosphorus + 50% nitrogen through FYM in kharif (pearlmillet) and 100% nitrogen and phosphorus in rabi (wheat). Phosphorus and potassium concentration and uptake was also found maximum in grain and straw of wheat in T6. RDF of N and P in Combination of Farm yard manure enhances the availability of nutrients to the plants and increase the cation exchange capacity of root which consequently cause higher absorption by the crop.
