Effect of applying organic manures (vermicompost and farmyard manure) and inorganic fertilizers on yield and nutrient uptake by okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) - onion (Allium cepa) and nutrient build up in the soil was studied under field conditions. Highest yield of okra was recorded in the treatment comprising 100% recommended NPK + vermicompost @ 10 t ha-1, 11.10 and 11.63 t ha-1 during 2003 and 2004, respectively. Similarly, maximum yield of onion was observed in plots receiving 100% recommended NPK plus 25 t vermicompost ha-1 during both the years i.e. 9.83 and 14.67 t ha-1 during 2003-04 and 2004-05, respectively. After completion of the experiment, the highest available NPK content (303, 28.1, 345 kg ha-1, respectively) were recorded in case of the treatment consisting of 10 t vermicompost ha-1 to okra and 25 t vermicompost ha-1'to onion along with 100% NPK to these crops. Similar effect was observed on mineral composition and nutrient uptake: Furthermore, yield of okra obtained at 5 t vermicompost ha-1 plus 100% NPK (9.73 and 10.83 t ha-1 during 2003 and 2004) was at par with that under 10 t farmyard manure plus 100% NPK (10.03 and 10.46 t ha-1 during 2003 and 2004). Similarly, yield of onion obtained at 12.5 t vermicompost ha-1 plus 100% NPK (8.38 and 12.56 t ha-1 during 2003-04 and 2004-05) was at par with that under 25 t farmyard manure ha-1 plus 100% NPK (8.86 and 12.08 t ha-I during 2003-04 and 2004-05). This demonstrated the superiority of vermicompost over farmyard manure in okra-onion sequence.
