Abstract: The Field experiment was carried out during Kharif 2018 at AHRS, Bhavikere to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Southern Transitional Zone of Karnataka. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with 9 treatments with 3 replications. The results revealed that application of 100% recommended NPK + FYM + plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) + 20:20:20 water soluble fertilizers (T5) recorded significantly higher grain yield (49.16 q ha-1) and yield parameters like number of panicles per plant (17.18) and panicle weight (3.20 g). Similar trend was noticed in growth parameters like plant height (73.94) and number of tillers (22.56) which contributed to the yield. The lowest yield was recorded with the control plot (16.47q ha-1).
