Effect of integrated nutrient management on physico-chemical properties of soil, growth, yield and quality of rice under irrigated ecosystem of Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

Higher organic carbon, electrical conductivity, bulk density and growth attributes viz. plant height, tillerand dry matter were recorded in 50 % N through carpet waste + 50% N through urea + PSB + 20 kg S ha-1 and this treatment was significantly higher over all other treatments but which was at par with 50 % N through FYM + 50% N through urea + PSB + 20 kg S ha-1 at all stages of crop. Higher pH was recorded at 50 % N through carpet waste + 50% N through urea + PSB + 20 kg S ha-1 and minimum pH was recorded at control treatment. Maximum grain and straw yield were recorded (4.6 and 6.41 ha-1) with 50 % N through carpet waste + 50% N through urea + PSB + 20 kg S ha-1 and which was significantly superior to all others treatment. Nutrient uptake and nutrient available in soil were found in 50 % N through carpet waste + 50% N through urea + PSB + 20 kg S ha-1 and this treatment was significantly to all others treatment but which was at par with 50 % N through FYM + 50% N through urea + PSB + 20 kg S ha-1 at all stages of crop.
