STUDIES ON THE BIOEFFICACY OF PASURA GOLD ON GROWTH ROOT DEVELOPMENT AND YIELD OF RICE (Oryza sativa L.)

摘要

Pasura Gold an organic bio fertilizer was applied at different times (30, 50 and 80 DAT) along with 1/2,1/3 recommended dose of synthetic fertilizer (RDF) (40/48 N : 20/24 P: 16 K) to know the influence on rice crop. Results indicated that applicationof 1/3 RDF + 33 kg Pasura gold in 3 split doses @ 33 kg ha~(-1)each was effective and resulted in maximum plant height (60.2 cm), tiller number (28.8) root length (18.85 cm), panicle weight (4.21 g) and grain yield (7.95 t ha~(-1)) as compared to RDF and other treatments (4.86 - 7.24 t ha~(-1)).
