Effect of moisture regime and integrated nutrient supply on growth, yield and economics of transplanted rice

A field experiment was conducted at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad (U.P.) on effect of moisture regime and integrated nutrient supply on growth, yield and economics of transplanted rice during wet season 2010. The results indicated that 7 cm irrigation one day after disappearance of ponded water (DADPW) was found significantly superior to 7 cm irrigation at 3 and 5 cm days DADPW in respect to growth and yield characters. Nutrient management practices also had significant effect on growth parameters as well as yield attributing characters and yield. Application of recommended dose of NPK (120:60:40 kg ha−1) through inorganic fertilizers recorded significantly higher growth and yield and green manuring + 75% NPK was at par with recommended dose of NPK (120:60:40 kg ha−1) through inorganic fertilizers but significantly superior to rest of the integrated nutrient supply systems in respect of growth, yield attributing characters and yield.
