Integrated nutrient management for aromatic rice in West Bengal

摘要

Field experiment was conducted during the wet season of 2006 and 2007 at Chinsurah, to evaluate an integrated nutrient management (INM) practices for enhancing grain yield of aromatic rice varieties in West Bengal. Experimental results revealed that the variety Kalajeera recorded significantly the highest grain yield (2.72 t ha~(-1)). Among the nutrient levels, application of50%RFD + 50% FYM (2.92 t ha~(-1)) and 100%RFD (2.861 ha~(-1)) were found equally effective in producing significantly higher grain yields. Even all the varieties could produce statistically similar yields at 50%RFD + 50%FYM and 100%RFD. Application of 50%RFD along with 50% FYM might be advocated not only for enhancing the grain yield ofaromatic rice, but also for sustaining thesoil fertility in the long run.
