Factorial combinations of two levels each of organic manure and seed rate and three levels of chemical fertilizers were tried in Randomised Block Design with three replications.
Organic manure addition @ 10 t ha -1 was found to have pronounced effect on various growth and yield attributing characters of rice when applied alone and/or in combination with chemical fertilizers at recommended dose of 90: 45: 45 kg NPK ha-1 and at increased seed rate of 133 kg ha -1. At normal seed rate also, organic manuring resulted in higher yields in combination with chemical fertilizers at the higher level of 120: 60: 60 kg NPK ha-1.
The available soil N content after harvest was significantly reduced from the content prior to experimentation in all the treatments. The available P status was maintained at the initial level in all the treatments.
The efficiency of applied N in terms of grain production/ kg of N applied was greater when organic manures were applied along with inorganic fertilisers. In the absence of organic manure, the apparent recovery of N at normal rates of application was greater than that at higher levels.
