ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season on heavy black clayey soils for 13 years (1995-2007) at Vyara, to study effect of integrated nutrient management on transplanted rice (Oryza sativa) productivity. The experiment was conducted with various quantity of pressmud (5,10,15,20t/ha); farmyard manure-FYM (10 t/ha) along with recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and with RDF only. The rice grain and straw yield was significantly higher with integrated nutrient application (pressmud @ 20 t/ha + RDF), which remain on par with pressmud @ 15 t/ha + RDF or FYM@ 10 t/ha + RDF. The growth and yield attributing characters as well as soil and plant analysis results has not affected, except organic carbon and available P status of soil. The highest net return has reported with inorganic fertilizer than INM treatments. Similar trend has observed in BCR value.
