Effect of Crop Establishments Methods and Nutrient Management on Productivity and Profitability of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Center, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, with compare the production potential under different crop establishment methods and nutrient management and also to find out the economic viability of this cultivar for soil quality. The treatments comprised of Main Plot Puddled Transplanted Rice (C1), Un-puddled Transplanted Rice (C2) and Raised-Bed Planting (C3) Sub Plot Control (N1), 100% NPK (150: 75:60) (N2), 50% RDN + FYM @15ton ha-1 (N3), 50% RDN + vermicompost @ 5ton ha-1 (N4), 50% RDN + FYM @15 ton ha-1 + Bio-stumulant G @ 20Kg ha-1 (N5) and 50% RDN + vermicompost @ 5 ton ha-1 + Bio-stumulant G @ 20Kg ha-1 (N6). revealed that crop establishment methods treatment C1 (Puddled Transplanted Rice) and Nutrient management N6 (50% RDN + vermicompost @ 5ton ha-1 + Bio-stumulant G @ 20Kg ha-1) exhibited significant influence on yield attributes and yields of rice as compared to the application of Un-Puddled Transplanted Rice and control treatment.
