Effect of fertilizer, vermicompost and triacontanol on growth and yield of scented rice

摘要

A Field experiment was carried out during wet season of 1997 to study the response of scented rice (cv. Pusa basmati 1) to levels of NPK, vermicompost and growth regulator at ARS, Siraguppa. The results reveled that application of 150:75:75 NPK kg ha~(-1) has recorded significantly higher growth, yield attributes and yield (5261 kg ha~(-1)) as compared to lower levels of NPK. Scented rice Pusa Basmati 1 responded significantly to the organic manure. Application of Vermicompost @ 51 ha~(-1) resulted in significantly higher yield (4889 kg ha~(-1)) as compared to no vermicompost application. Significant response was observed from spraying of triacontanol (GR) @ 500ml ha~(-1) with respect to growth, yield attributes and yield (4861 kg ha~(-1)) as compared to spraying @ 250ml ha~(-1) and water spray.
