The main  objectives of  this  experiment was  to  study  the  effects  of  continuous  applications  oforganic and  inorganic fertilizers on  crop yields  in a  maize/millet  cropping pattern.   For  millet,the highest grain yields  (1689 kg/ha)  were  obtained  in plots  treated  with  recommended  rates oforganic manure  (FYM  30 t/ha). By contrast, the highest maize grain yields (5284 kg/ha)   wereobtained in plots   treated with recommended   rates of inorganic fertilizers    (NPK 120:60:40).Overall decreasing yield   trend was found   in maize yield   over years.   The  highest  combined(maize +millet) total grain yield  was obtained from  NPK  120:60:40 kg/ha  (6501 kg/ha) followedby  the  use  of NPK  80:60:40  kg/ha  4435  kg/ha)  and  compost  10  ton  + NPK  60:30:20  kg/ha(5949 kg/ha) (Table 1).     Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=321 in Proceedings of first national workshop on long-term soil fertility experiments, 11-13 August 1998 / Maskey, S.L.     Effects of long-term application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on maize and millet yields under a maize/millet cropping pattern: the results of 1993-1997 seasons1 [printed text] / PR Shakya, Editor ; Gharte D.B, Author ; Upadhyay, S.R., Author . - Lalitpur : NARC, 1998 . - 143-157 .p.
