Abstract

                                Field investigations were conducted during summer and Kharif seasons to study the influence of six irrigation schedules and three nitrogen splits on the uptake of six nutrients by dry seeded bunded rice. Plants flooded early (20 and 35 days after sowing) recorded higher iron and manganese contents whereas it was generally reverse in the case of nitrogen and zinc. However, the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, manganese and zinc were increased both at active tillering and harvest stages due to early flooding.

Key words : Irrigation Schedule, Nutrients Uptake, Early Flooding
