The present investigation was undertaken during kharif season of 2015 at School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Nagaland University, Medziphema, Nagaland. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with 10 treatments, replicated thrice with two local rice cultivars and five different nutrient management practices. The study results showed that the application of 100% RDF + 5 t ha-1 FYM recorded the highest grain yield (3140 kg ha-1), straw yield (8889 kg ha-1), soil available NPK (381.95 kg ha-1, 24.55 kg ha-1 and 229.31 kg ha-1, respectively). Combination of the cultivar ‘Nyakmok’ with an application of 100% RDF resulted significantly highest P uptake (19.93 kg ha-1), K uptake (56.83 kg ha-1), and B: C ratio (1.24). The highest gross return per hectare (? 44,305) was recorded in cultivar ‘Nyakmok’ + 100% RDF + 5 t ha-1 FYM
