Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at Research cum Instructional Farm, IGKV, Raipur, during kharif season of 2011. The soil of experiment field was ‘Vertisols’. The soil was neutral (pH 7.12) in reaction and medium in fertility having 0.52% organic carbon, low N (205.5 kg ha^-1), medium P (17.0 kg ha^-1) and high K (345 kg ha^-1). The treatments consisted of four aromatic rice varieties as main plot viz. Jeeraphool, Kasturi Badshah Bhog and Sugandhamati with six organic nutrient management treatments as sub plot viz. T₁ (CDM + CCR + Vermicompost), T₂ (T₁ + BGA + PSB + Azospirillum), T₃ (T₁ + Rock Phosphate), T₄ (T₁ + Panchgavya), T₅ (T₂ + Rock Phosphate + Panchgavya) and T₆ (T₁ + Neemastra). The results revealed that between four varieties, Sugandhamati was found to produce higher growth as compared other varieties, As regards to the effect of different organic nutrient management, the results revealed that various growth parameters and yield attributing characters were recorded highest with the application of Cow dung manure, Compost crop residue, Vermicompost, Blue Green algae, PSB, Azospirillum, rock phosphate and Panchgavya (T₅) which also gave the highest yield and economic return.
