Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2022-23 Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur, to study the effect of nano urea on growth of drilled paddy. In respect of growth attributes, treatment [T₄] 100% RDN through nano-urea (two splits foliar application at 15 and 45 DAS), recorded significantly higher plant height, number of tillers m^-1 row and dry matter accumulation plant^-1 of paddy followed by treatment Control - 100% RDN through urea two split – 50% at sowing- basal + 25% at 25 to 30 DAS and 25% at 60 DAS (booting stage) (top dressing) [T₁] and 75% RDN through nano-urea (three splits foliar application at 15, 45 and 75 DAS) [T₆] and was found at par with 100% RDN through nano-urea (two splits foliar application at 15 and 45 DAS) [T₄].
