In recent times fertilizers are responsible for a 50% increase in crop yield. Due to the progressive intensification of agriculture and the production of great yielding varieties, fertilizer consumption has increased very much, accounting for 23.6 metric tonnes of nutrients every year through crop removal. Overuse in certain potential areas and sub-optimum use in larger areas is primary issues, and the uncontrolled use of inorganic fertilizer is leading a lot of problems, mainly soil fertility and pollution. So, the target should be to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and to enhance and boost fertilizer usage. Therefore, a strategy for integrated nutrient supply is evolved by a judicious combination of chemical fertilizers, organic manures, and biofertilizers (Panwar et al. 2001). Therefore, attempts were made during the present study to observe the effect of integrated fertilizer dose (urea + biofertilizers ) on the productivity of famous forage crop hybrid Napier (cv.NB-21). The research includes an investigation on the percentage increase in yield of forage crops and minimizing the use of nitrogenous fertilizer using bio fertilizer.
