Performance of different nitrogenous complex fertilizers for paddy (Oryza sativa Linn.) in Entisol

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2016 at Post Graduate farm, College of Agriculture, Kolhapur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design consisted of seven treatments viz., T1: absolute control, T2: Urea +SSP+MOP, T3: 18:46:0 (DAP), T4: 20:20:0, T5: 10:26:26, T6: 1919:19, T7: 15:15:15 which were replicated by three times. The result revealed that among the different NP complex fertilizers DAP recorded higher no. of tillers, plant height, thousand grains weight, chlorophyll content, grain and stover yield and B:C ratio. There was no significant difference in available N, P, and K content after harvest of crop in soil indicating no residual effect of different nitrogenous complex fertilizers.
