Abstract
This paper reports results of a preliminary study from a long term experiment on rice. Basmati-370 was grown on a calcareous sandy clay loam soil in order to assess the relative effectiveness of ammonium chloride compared with ammonium sulphate and urea, each applied at the rate of 75 and 150kg N/ha. In the same permanent layout wheat followed rice with N application rates of 100, 200 kg/ha in respective carriers. I rrespective of rate, N fertilizers significantly increased the ear bearing tillers/hill, number of grains per panicle and straw yield. This increase was well marked in the case of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate compared with urea. The N sources at their respective rates produced statistically equal paddy yield except urea at 75 kg N/ha which was significantly less effective among the e fertilizer treatments
