Abstract


The possibility of skipping a top dressing of fertilizer N through the use of Azolla microphylla was studied. Inoculation of A. microphylla on 10 day after transplantation at I t ha" and incorporation at 30 DAT increased the soil organic carbon content and available N status. Skipping of the second top dressing of fertilizer N at 25 Kg ha' which coincides with Azolla trampling saves the fertilizer and labour for top dressing besides increasing the rice yield significantly at all the seasons tested.
