Estimation of different nutrient in different crop establishment method on rice

Abstract

A field experiment conducted during Kharif season of 2017 under AICRIP, in Alfisols at Instructional cum Research of Shaheed Gundadhoor College and Agricultural Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, to study grain yield of rice as influenced by different establishment methods under puddle condition. Significantly highest N content in grain and straw was registered under the treatment line transplanting method. While, highest P content in grain and straw was registered under the treatment line transplanting method which was at par with treatments wet direct seeded using drum seeder (T3) and with an additional treatment random transplanting (T2) in grain. Significantly highest K content in straw was registered under the treatment line transplanting method (T1) which was at par with wet direct seeded using drum seeder (T3). Further, grain K content was found to be non-significant. Significantly highest N, P and K uptake in grain and straw were recorded under line transplanting method (T1) which was at par with wet direct seeded using drum seeder (T3). The lowest N uptake in grain was observed with treatment dry direct sowing method (T5).
