A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of July 2013 & 2014 at crop research farm SHIATS Allahabad to study the effect of inorganic fertilizer and wheat residue on nutritional content and economics in basmati rice. Treatments were arranged using factorial R.B.D with three replications. The result revealed that increasing level of NPK fertilizer and crop residue significantly increases nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and protein content in grain. Besides these, treatment also found more remunerative in terms of net return and benefit cost ratio
