Effect of water Management Practices and Nitrogen Application on Losses of Nitrogen in Lowland Rice

Abstract

An experiment was conducted in pot culture at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Univerity.s Coimbatore, from 1972 to 1973 with Kannagi and Bala varieties of rice in monsoon (wet) and summer (dry) seasons to find out the amount of N lost and to minimise the losses under five water management treatments and five N levels. The total N loss by leaching and volatilisation was heavy in monsoon and summer seasons. The total N loss was heavy in 1 and 1s treatments at higher N levels.
