Inappropriate agriculture operation with dependent on mostly chemical fertilizers has led to acidification and dropping fertility status which directly affects crop productivity. The simplest method to recover these debase land is to amend with integrated nutrient management practices thereby improving the nutrient cycle. We experimented to study the influence of integrated plant nutrient management on yield and leaf nutrient status of broadleaf mustard on farmers’ field of Kathmandu Valley from August 2017 to December 2017. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 9 treatment viz. ( ½ NPK +4 ton/ha Vermicompost), ( ¾ NPK + 2 ton/ha vermicompost), ( ½ NPK+ 12 ton/ha FYM), ( ¾ NPK + 6ton/ha FYM), ( ½ NPK+ 2 ton/ha Poultry Manure), ( ¾ NPK+ 1 ton/ha Poultry Manure), ( ½ NPK + 6 ton/ha Compost), ( ¾ NPK+ 3 ton/ha Compost) and (Control) with three replication. Maximum plant height and leaves size observed in (½ NPK+ 2 ton/ha PM) and yield per plot and yield per ha was observed in (¾ NPK+ 1ton/ha PM). Similarly, the maximum plant canopy volume was observed in (¾ NPK+ 2ton/ha VC). The leaf nutrient (NPK) were found maximum in the treatment (1/2 NPK+ 6 ton/ha Compost), followed by (1/2 NPK+ 2 ton/ha Poultry Manure) and (¾ NPK+ 2 ton/ha VC).
