Influence of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth of rice

Field experiments were conducted during February to May, 2014 to study the influence of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth parameters of rice (ADT 36). The experiment consists of twelve treatments with three replications viz., T1-100 % Recommended Dose (RD) of NPK kg ha-1 (120:38:38), T2 -T1+ soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT, T3 -75 % RD of NPK kg ha-1 (90:38:38) + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT, T4 -T1 + foliar spray of panchagavya 3 % at 30 and 45 DAT, T5 -T1 + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 20 DAT + foliar spray of panchagavya 3 % at 30 and 45 DAT, T6 -75 % RD of NPK kg ha-1 (90:38:38) + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 20 DAT + foliar spray of panchagavya 3 % at 30 and 45 DAT, T7 -T1 + foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 20 DAT, T8 -T1 + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT + foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 30 DAT, T9 -75 % RD of NPK kg ha-1 (90:38:38) + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT + foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 30 DAT, T10 -T1 + foliar spray of panchagavya 3 % at 30 DAT+ foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 45 DAT, T11 -T1 + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT + foliar spray of panchagavya 3 % at 30 DAT+ foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 45 DAT, T12 -75 % RD of NPK kg ha-1 (90:38:38) + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT + foliar spray panchagavya 3 % at 30 DAT + foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 45 DAT. The growth parameters of rice viz., plant height, number of tillers per hill, LAI and DMP was favourably influenced by 100 % recommended dose of NPK kg ha-1 (120:38:38) + soil application of Beema green granules 25 Kg ha-1 at 20 DAT + foliar spray of panchagavya 3 % at 30 DAT+ foliar spray of Nitrobenzene 750ml ha-1 at 45 DAT (T11). It recorded the higher plant height at harvest, number of tillers per hill at tillering stage, LAI at flowering and DMP at harvest.
