INFLUENCE OF NITRIFICATION INHIBITORS ON NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY, YIELD AND UPTAKE IN RICE SOILS.

Abstract

                                A field experiment was conducted in sandy clay loam soil to study the effect of nitrification inhibitors on nutrient availability, yield and uptake of nutrients by rice. The available nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) contents were higher in treatments with 75 per cent N as nitrification inhibitors and the rest as prilled urea (PU). The nimin coated urea (NICU) treatments showed higher grain and straw, yields than neem cake coated urea (NCU) and PU treatments. Nitrification inhibitors applied treatments recorded higher N. P and K uptake than untreated urea treatment.
