Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Organic Farm, ASPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during kharif season of the year 2021 to study the effect of different liquid organic formulations on quality of organic rice under direct seeding. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design, comprising seventeen treatments of NADEP compost with different liquid organic formulation viz., jivamrut, amritpani and panchgavya. The results indicated that significantly enhance the quality of rice grain, i.e., Fe in T₄ (94.23 mg/kg), Mn in T₁₄ (57.63 mg/kg) and Zn in T₉ (28.35 mg/kg) as compared to control and absolute control. The higher grain length of rice in treatment T₁₀ (8.84 mm) which was at par with all treatments except treatments T₅, T₆, T₁₃, T₁₆ and T₁₇, respectively, while breadth of the rice grain was higher in treatment T₃ and T₁₄ (2.75 mm), which was remain at par with all treatments but except treatments T₉, T₁₀, T ₁₆ and T₁₇. Whereas did not differ significantly effect was observed on N, P, K and Zn nutrients contents as well as protein of organic rice grain.
