ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted in farmer's field during kharif, 2007 to evaluate different organic practices on growth and yield parameters of paddy. Treatment which was supplemented with inorganic practice (farmer's practice) and it was kept as control was recorded significantly highest plant height and number of tillers over other treatments at different critical stages, followed by the treatment which was supplemented with FYM (farm yard manure) at 10 t/ha + Green manure (Glyricidia) at 5 t/ha + Neem cake (soil application) at 375 kg/ ha + Trichoderma harzianum (soil application) at 130 kg/ha + Trichoderma harzianum (soil application) at 130 kg/ha + Beejamrutha (root dip) at 125 l/ ha + NSKE five per cent (foliar spray) + Pseudomonas fluorescens at 2 g/ l (foliar spray). Similar results were obtained in case of yield attributes number of panicles, 1000-grain weight and grain yield.
Key words :
Growth parameters, organics, Oryza sativa, paddy, yield parameters.
