A field experiment was carried out at Doddabelavangala village of Doddaballapura (T) under alfisols of Bangalore Rural district, Karnataka to study the effect of organic manure (FYM) and biofertilizers along with different levels of phosphorus and potassium on nutrient content and uptake of finger millet. On the basis of experimental data significant improvements were recorded in nutrient content and uptake of finger millet. The N, P and K content in finger millet (grain and straw) were significantly increased due to super optimal dose of NPK with FYM and bio-fertilizers. The maximum N, P and K content in grain (108, 0.38 and 0.90 percent) and straw (0.71, 0.19 and 1.07 percent) was recorded with application of 100 % NPK through POP + FYM + P and K solubilizer. The similar results were found in uptake of N, P and K by grain and straw in finger millet.
