Abstract:
Experiment was conducted during kharif 2018 and 2019 at Research-cum-Instructional Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur (C.G.). In rice crop, treatments comprised with nine tillage with nutrient management practices i.e. T₁: Conventional tillage (CT)-Transplanted rice (TPR) 100% RDF, T₂: CT-TPR 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 2 t FYM, T₃: CT-TPR 100% RDF (75% inorg + 25% FYM), T₄: CT-Direct seeded rice (DSR) 100% RDF, T₅: CT-DSR 100% RDF + 2 t FYM, T₆: CT-DSR 100% RDF (75% inorg + 25% FYM), T₇: Zero tillage (ZT)-DSR 100% RDF, T₈: ZT-DSR 100% RDF + 2 t FYM and T₉: ZT-DSR 100% RDF (75% inorg + 25% FYM) were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Rice variety Rajeshwari-1 was taken as test crop. The RDF for rice crop was 100:60:40 N, P₂O₅ and K₂O kg ha^-1 respectively. During kharif 2018 and 2019 in rice, treatment T₂: CT-TPR with 100% RDF + 2 t FYM produced significantly the highest plant height and root density.
