Abstract
Field studies were envisaged to find out the most profitable fertilizer scheme for rice crop. Soil of the site was nonnal sandy clay loam with medium fertility status. Experiment was laid out according to randomized complete block design with four replications having 4x 4 m plot size and 20 x 20 cm plant spacing. Fertilizer-treatments included control, Nalone, NP, NK, PK, NPK, NPK + ZnS04, NPK + FYM, PYM, and NPK + FYM (1/2 rate). Fertilizer application rate was as N 120, P205 80, K20 60, and ZnS04 20 kg ha'1 , and the full rale of FYM was kept at 101 ha-1. Rice CV. Basmati-385 was grown. Results depicted the superiority of NPK + FYM combination both at full as well as half application with ivspect to plant height, tilleis count, panicles count, and paddy and straw yields. 1YM alone and NPK + Zn also gave encouraging response. Comparatively NPK + FYM (1/2 dose) was found the most economically feasible combination of organic and synthetic fertilizers due to higher rice yield and value cost ratio obtained through this fertilizer treatment.
