UPTAKE OF N, P AND K BY FOUR HIGH YIELDING RICE VARIETIES UNDER DIFFERENT FERTILIZER LEVELS

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif 1972 at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatia, to study the NPK uptake by the four high yielding rice varieties at different stages of crop growth, at different fertilizer levels. The results indicated that the uptake of N and P gradually increased upto panicle initiation with a further steep increase up to flowering and rematned more or less constant at harvest. But in case of K followed the came trend up to flowering stage, dropped to a lower level by harvest time. P uptake at flowering had a significant contribution to grain yield.
