EFFECT OF SOME NUTRIENTS IN RICE PLANT UNDER SODIC SOILS

S.K. Pandey, Dr. L.P.Pathak, R.K. Pathak


A field experiment was conducted on farmer’s field of Faizabad district during the period 2010 and 2011. The nutrients were applied on soil test recommendation basis with three replications under randomize block design. The soil was low in organic carbon, available nitrogen, P2O5, sulphur, zinc, manganese; available potassium (K2O) was medium in category. pH and EC of soil was 9.0 and 0.29 dSm-1 respectively. The yield of grain varied from 20.20 to 36.36 and 19.90 to 37.30 Qha-1 during both the years, respectively. The straw yield varied from 27.81 to 51.24 and 26.80 to 53.30 Qha-1 during both the years, respectively. The concentration of N, P, K, S, Zn and Mn increases with increasing doses of fertilizers. The uptake value of above mentioned nutrients were calculated on the basis of biological yield and concentration of nutrients. The soil of experimental field was found deficient in almost all the nutrients tested under missing nutrient technique. The satisfactory yield could be obtained with the addition of N, P, K, S, Zn and Mn on soil test recommendation basis
