Effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on NPK uptake by transplanted rice at different growth stages

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu agricultural university, Coimbatore during kharif and rabi 2011-12 and 2012-13 to find out the effect of different sources of nutrients on NPK uptake by rice at different growth stages. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design in kharif and rabi season with fourteen treatments and three replications. The treatments consists of T6 50% as Sesbania aculeata + 50% as inorganic fertilizer maximum NPK uptake by rice in different growth stages. However, it was on par with that of 50% N through FYM + 50% N as inorganic fertilizer.
