Abstract

                                Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of potassium and its methods of application in rice, Application of potassium resulted in 33 and 26 per cent increase in grain yield- over control for IR 50 and ADT 36 respectively. Positive influence on growth and yield parameters was observed when the recommended dose of potassium was applied in split doses equally at active tillering and panicle initiation stages.

Key words : Potassium, split application, uptake
