Effect of INM on Growth Parameters of Rice Grown on Alluvial Calcareous Soil

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at Main Experimental Station of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during the Kharif, 2014 to study theeffect of integrated nutrient management on soil properties, growth Characteristics of rice (Oryza sativa). The experiment comprised  of  ten treatments viz. T1 (control), T2 (100% RDF) T3 (125% RDF), T4 (100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1), T5 (100% RDF + Brown manuring), T6 (100% RDF + BGA@ 10 kg ha-1), T7 (100% RDF + PSB), T8 (Farmers practice (N100:P40:K0), T9 (100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + PSB + Azatobacter + BGA) and T10 (100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + PSB + Azatobacter  + Brown manuring) in Randomized Block Design with three replications with rice variety NDR-97 was taken. The experimental soil was silty loam in texture having the maximum values of pH (7.88), EC (0.32 dSm-1), organic carbon (0.34 %).
