The field experiment was conducted at Agricultural farm of the Mahatama Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chirtakoot, Satna, (M.P.) during kharif and rabi season of 2022-23 and 2023-24 to study the effect of residue management practices on the nutrient content in seed and straw of maize cropping system. Results revealed that the application of residue incorporation + spray of microbial consortium on residue produced significantly higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in seed (1.62, 0.49 and 0.67%) and straw (0.67, 0.24 and 1.68%) in maize. However, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in seed of mustard was noted significantly maximum under residue incorporation + spray of microbial consortium on residue with 3.005, 0.394 and 0.616%, respectively. Similarly, significantly higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in straw of mustard was recorded under the application of residue incorporation + spray of microbial consortium on residue treatments 0.522, 0.175 and 1.145% respectively.
