Integrated Nutrient Management Studies in Rice

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Thirupathisaram during kharif and rabi 2011-12 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) in rice under rice-rice-pulse cropping system. Biometrics such as plant height, number of tillers hill -1, number of panicles m-2, number of grains panicle-1, panicle length, grain yield and straw yield were recorded in both rice crops. Integrated Nutrient management significantly influenced the growth and yield. The treatment Sesbania aculeata @ 6.25 t ha-1 + 1204848 kg NPK ha-1for short duration rice (ASD 16) and Sesbania aculeata @ 6.25 t ha-1 + 1505050 kg NPK ha-1 for medium duration rice (TPS 3) recorded relatively higher growth, yield and economics than other treatments

Keywords: Rice, Sesbania aculeata, NPK, Integrated nutrient management
