Effect of integrated nutrients management on growth, yield, nutrient uptake and soil properties in direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop in the acidic soils of Nagaland
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Two-year field experimentation was carried out under a randomized block design replicated thrice consisting of fifteen treatments in total to investigate the influence of INM treatment combinations using FYM, vermicompost, biofertilizers like Azospirillum on crop growth, yield, nutrient uptake and soil properties. Careful observation from the growth indices confirmed that T8 recorded significantly the highest in terms of plant height (cm), number of tillers plant-1, CGR. Yield attributes were also confirmed to have found highest with treatment T8, respectively. Nutrient uptake both in grain and straw were also observed to have enhanced with T8 and organic source included treatments. Soil properties like pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, and available NPK were also found to have improved significantly with T8 over the course of investigation.
