The study conducted during two consecutive seasons in 1996 and 1997 showed that fertilizer application by
point placement method resulted in higher grain yield of Basmati-385 than with broadcast method. Nitrogen
used @ 80 kg ha-t appeared to be optimum to get higher grain yield followed by nitrogen level of 120 and 40
kg ha! in a descending order. Correlation between grain yield and yield components was significant and
positive.
