An experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2003 and 2004 at college of agriculture, Bikaner to study the effect of vermicompost and inorganic fertilizers on productivity of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.Emend stunz]. Results of study revealed that plant height, dry matter accumulation at harvest, total number of tillers at 40 DAS, yield attributes, seed and stover yields, harvest index, nutrient uptake (N, P and K) by grain and stover, net returns and B:C ratio increased significantly due to drilling of vermicompost @ 2 tonnes/ha over control where as its drilling @ 1 tonne/ha remain statistically at par with soil incorporation @ 2 tonnes/ha. Maximum and significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes, yield, HI, nutrient uptake, net return and B:C ratio were recorded due to application of 90 kg N + 45 kg P205/ha as compared to control (N0Po)-
