A study was conducted during winter (rabi) season 2018-19 in the ongoing long-term fertilizer experiment, initiated since 1972 in an acid Alfisol, at the experimental farm of the Department of Soil Science, Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur to find the effect of chemical fertilizers, farmyard manure and lime application on yield and nutrient uptake by wheat and its relationship with soil organic carbon. The experiment consisted of eleven treatments with three replications in a randomized block design. The results revealed that the continuous use of NPK fertilizers along with FYM or lime resulted in higher wheat yield and nutrient uptake as compared to the other treatments. Soil organic carbon recorded a positive and significant relation with NPK uptake by wheat.
