 ABSTRACT

A field trial was performed during summer season of 2019 at M.S. Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Paralakhemundi, Odisha. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments which are replicated thrice. Treatments are 100% RDN (T1), 75% RDN+25% N through vermicompost (T2), 75% RDN+25% N through FYM (T3), 50% RDN+50% N through vermicompost (T4), 50% RDN+50 %  N through FYM (T5), 50% RDN+25% N through vermicompost+25% N through FYM (T6), 25% RDN+25% N through vermicompost+50% N through FYM (T7) and  Control (T8). The rice variety used in the trial was RNR 15048. The integrated nutrient management (INM) expressed significantly better results on growth, yield, nutrient content and economics of summer rice. The treatments with 75% RDN along with 25% vermicompost (T2) and 75% RDN along with 25% FYM (T3) recorded enhanced growth, nutrient content and productivity which were at par with 100% RDN and the lowest results are found with control (no fertilizer).

Keywords: Rice, FYM, vermicompost, Recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN), Growth, Productivity, Economics
