Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted at the Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, BHU, Varanasi, U.P., India to evaluate the effect of fertility levels and bio-organics on growth and productivity of recently released short grain aromatic rice cv. HUR 917. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized complete block design with four fertility levels i.e. control, 50% RDF, 75% RDF and 100% RDF and three bio-organics i.e. control, FYM and FYM + BGA, replicated thrice. The results revealed that 100% RDF has significantly improved growth parameters, yield attributes, yield, NPK removal and net returns over other fertility levels tested. Combined application of FYM + BGA produced significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes, yield, NPK removal and net returns over FYM and control. Hence, aromatic rice can be grown with 100% RDF and FYM along with BGA for higher growth, productivity and net returns under eastern U. P condition.
