Performance of paddy as influenced by distillery waste and inorganic fertilizers

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University in season Kharif, 2015-16 to study the effect of distillery waste and inorganic fertilizer on growth and yield attributes of rice. Application of 100 % RDF gave a positive increase in growth and yield attributes. All treatments had a significant affect compared with control at all parameters studied. The higher growth and yield parameters were obtained by 100% RDF followed by 50% NPK + Godavari Kash @ 4 bags/ha. The effect of different treatments on growth and yield parameter showed that application of 100% RDF through inorganic source and application of distillery waste along with chemical fertilizers showed better results than sole application of distillery waste.
