 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out to find the effect on growth and yield of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) by adopting nutrient management practices under different establishment method. The experiment was conducted in A2 block at N. E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, District Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand. The treatments consisting three establishment methods in main plots and five nutrient management practices in sub plots (fifteen combination) was laid out in split plot design (SPD) with three replications. The result revealed that, the values for plant height were not influenced by establishment methods however tallest plants were obtained under transplanting method at harvest. Application of 150%RDF led to tallest plants but various nutrient management treatments could not establish significant effect on plant height at harvest. Number of shoots/m2 was significantly less due to transplanting method. RDF+5tFYM/ha, RDF and RDF (LCC based N) caused similar but significantly more number of shoots/m2 compared to remaining treatments at harvest.The lowest sterility (%) was found in transplanting method and higher in aerobic and wet-direct seeded methods. RDF+5tFYM/ha recorded lower sterility (%) compared to remaining treatments. Transplanting method of establishment and application of RDF+5t FYM/ha being at par with RDF (LCC based N) significantly increased the yield attributes, grain yield, straw yield and biological yield.

Key words: Rice Crop (Oryza sativa L.), Nutrient Management, Establishment Methods.
