Performance of city compost on growth, yield and economic of scented rice variety

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Research cum Instructional Farm, IGKV, Raipur during kharif 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the performance of organic sources city compost with integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and economics of scented rice varieties. The five (5) treatments of INM viz. No fertilizer (N1), 75% RDN through city compost + PSB + Azotobacter + BGA (N2), 75% RDN through FYM + PSB + Azotobacter + BGA (N3), 50% RDN through city compost + 50% RDN through chemical fertilizers (N4) and 50% RDN through FYM + 50% RDN through chemical fertilizers (N5), where in sub-plotscented rice variety was taken i.e. Chhattisgarh Dubraj selection-1 (V1), Jawaphool (V2) and TCDM-1 (Trombay Chhattisgarh Dubraj Mutant-1) (V3) were tested in split plot design with 5 main plots and 3 sub plots in 3 replications. The growth, yield attributing characters and productivity of scented rice was recorded significantly highest under treatments 75% RDN through city compost + PSB + Azotobacter + BGA (N2), which was comparable with 75% RDN through FYM + PSB +Azotobacter + BGA (N3). Among scented rice varieties, TCDM-1 (Trombay Chhattisgarh Dubraj Mutant-1) (V3) has produced significantly highest growth and yield attributes.
