An experiment with seven treatments consisting of iwo levels of nutrients and one without nutrient application and three sources of nutrients for each level wqs carried out in 1997 under maize/millet cropping-pattern in Pakchribas. • 

Maize and millet yield tended to increase with the increased levels- of nutrient in all three sources of manure. Net negative balance ofN and K was observed under all levels as well as sources of nutrients but not the P. Fertilization with inorganic manure alone tended to aggravate rate of soil 01\l/ depletion and enhanced the soil acidity. However, combined application of organic + inorganic manure in one is to one ratio in terms of nutrients minimized nutrient depletion rate particularly OM and enhanced soil acidity were observed
