  abstract = {The aim of the study was to find out the possibility of reducing N (Nitrogen) and P(Phosphorus) doses of cereal and legume crops in cropping system through efficient use of nutrients. The treatments comprising two levels of organic manures (FYM @ 0 and 5 t/ha) and three levels of phosphorus to rainy season urdbean (0, 25 and 50 kg/ha) and three levels of nitrogen (25, 37.5 and 50 kg/ha) to winter wheat were applied. Pooled data of two years indicated that the application of 5 t FYM/ha in rainy season increased the yield of both urdbean and wheat (succeeding) significantly over 0 t FYM. Among the P2O5 levels, 25 and 50 kg/ha were on par with each other to have effect on both urdbean and wheat yield. Among the N levels of wheat, 50 kg/ha was significantly superior over the reduced doses of nitrogen (37.5 and 25 kg/ha) in wheat yield. When wheat equivalent yield, net returns, B:C ratio and production efficiency were considered, application of 5 t FYM/ ha was able to reduce the P dose to urdbean to fifty percent and N dose of succeeding wheat to twenty five percent. There was difference in estimated nutrient balance and actual loss/gain. All the three nutrients were actually gained due to the application of 5t FYM in comparison to no FYM. There was higher N and P use efficiency under this system (with FYM) compared to control (no FYM).},
