Abstract:
A field experiment on direct seeded rice was conducted during kharif 2017 and 2018 at Rice Research Farm, Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi to know the response of integrated nutrient management in direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa). The soil was clay loam in texture, acidic in nature with mean pH 5.97, mean EC 0.30, low in available N (mean value 223.81 kg/ha), medium in P (mean value 23.35 kg/ha) & K (mean value 169.44 kg/ha) and low in organic carbon (mean value 0.39%). The experiment comprised ten treatments viz. control (no fertilizer or manure), 50% RDF, 75% RDF, 100% RDF, 50% RDF +50% N through FYM, 50% RDF + 50% N through vermicompost, 75% RDF +25% N through FYM, 75% RDF+25% N through vermicompost, 100% RDF +25% N through FYM and 100% RDF +25% N through vermicomposting were laid out in randomized block design with three replications.
