Organics and Micronutrient Management Practices on Soil Available Nutrient and Yield of Aerobic Rice
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: This investigation was conducted at S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati, to evaluate the performance of aerobic rice under organics and micronutrients. The experiment was consisted of three organic practices in main plot viz., FYM (farm yard manure), GLM (green leaf manure) and no organics and seven micronutrient management practices in subplots i.e., application of iron and zinc either alone or in combination to the soil or foliage and laid out in slit plot design and replicated thrice with Sravani (NLR-33359) variety. As regards the organics, significantly higher post-harvest soil available N, P, K, Fe and Zn content and yield was noticed with the incorporation of FYM. Among the micronutrient management practices, Foliar application of 0.25% FeSO4 and 0.5% ZnSO4 twice at 20 and 30 DAS has recorded maximum value of post-harvest soil available N, P, K, Fe and Zn content and higher yield compared to rest of the micronutrient management practices tried.
