Abstract:
An experiment on scented rice was conducted at pot culture house of the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, during Kharif season of 2020. The doses of experiment were 75% NPK, 75% NPK+S30, 75% NPK+S₃₀+Zn₅, 100% NPK, 100% NPK+S₃₀, 100% NPK+S₃₀+Zn₅, 125% NPK, 125% NPK+S30 and 125% NPK+S₃₀+Zn₅+Azotobacter. The result showed that the grain yield ranged from 25.0 to 45.0 q ha^-1 and straw yield from 35.0 to 68.0 q ha^-1. The N content in grains varied from 1.40 to 1.49%, P from 0.34 to 0.39%, K from 0.35 to 0.45%, S from 0.19 to 0.25% and zinc from 13.00 to 18.00 ppm. The N content in rice straw varied from 0.20 to 0.28%, P from 0.16 to 0.24%, K from 1.22 to 1.30%, S from 0.10 to 0.15% and zinc from 26.00 to 40.00 ppm. The treatment T10 (125% NPK+S₃₀+Zn₅+Azotobacter) gave the best result in terms of grain and straw yield.
