“…Devi et al, 2019 [18] noticed that the yield of black aromatic rice recorded at par grain yield with conventional method (60:40:30kg/ha) in the first season whereas, higher grain yield in the second season produced through application of 50% FYM with 50% loktak phumdi compost from Manipur. Similarly, Ojobor, 2017 [41] from Nigeria also recorded highest maize yield with application of compost @10t/ha (rice husk amended with poultry manure at ratio 1:1 by weight) in both early and late season. Choudhary and Suri 2009 [16] from Palampur reported that sole application of FYM @10t/ha produced higher grain yield than the FYM applied in combination with green manure in situ or mushroom spent compost but registered highest yield when FYM applied in combination with inorganic fertilizer.…”

“…Continuous application of the organic sources to rice for three years significantly improved the SOC, available N,P & K status of soil at the end of the scented rice -tomato-bottle gourd cropping system at Patna (Sigh, 2011). Ojobor (2017) [41] reported significant improvement in soil pH, EC, total N, available P and with application of 50% rice husk plus 50% poultry manure, but organic carbon was maximum when 60% rice husk plus 40% poultry manure was applied to maize in soil of Abaraka, Nigeria. Siddharam et al, 2017 from Bengaluru concluded from a 2 years experiment that the residual fertility status of soil improved with higher available N (356.2kg/ha), P2O5 (69.5kg/ha) and K2O (208.0kg/ha) after the harvest of aerobic rice was noticed by the application of FYM 12.5t/ha+ biodigester liquid manure 75kgN/ha as compared to recommended practice.…”

Rice is the most important cereal crop and staple food consumed by more than half of the world's human population. Based on the presence of aroma, rice is categorized as the aromatic and non-aromatic rice. Aromatic rice is an important food grain crop and preferred by majority of human population. Most of the aromatic rice (short and long grain cultivars) varieties are low yielding, exhibiting inferior agronomic performance, highly sensitive to the environmental condition. Among several management practices, nutrient management is of utmost importance for its role not only in growth and development of the crop but also the maintenance of soil health and quality of the produce. At present, the farmers cultivate such premium aromatic rice following chemical-based agricultural practices which has increased productivity with inferior grain quality, degraded soil health and increased environmental pollution. Thus, it has been realized that organic nutrient management in aromatic rice is to be given paramount importance so as to attain sustainability in production and high economic return with better quality of produce. Different sources of organic manures seemed to have differential effects not only on the soil health but also on the quality of aromatic rice. Most of the cases poultry manure is considered to be one of the best organic sources when it is used after one season. Besides, other organic sources like FYM and concentrated manure are also better in sustaining crop productivity, maintaining soil health and reducing environmental pollution as compared to that with chemical farming.

“…Advantage can be taken off the rice dust that is available in rice farming communities (Adeoye et al, 2005). Limited information on the use of abattoir wastewater for compost making, is hindering its utilization (Adeoye et al, 2005 andOjobor, 2018).…”

The research was conducted to monitor the influent of abattoir wastewater compost on rice growth and yield in Benin-Owah River Basin in Illah, Delta State, Nigeria. The compost was applied at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10 t/ha, and NPK15:15:15 at 250 kg/ha laid in randomized complete block design with four replicates. Rice seeds were sown for two years, and residual effects were evaluated in the third year. Rice plant height, stem circumference, and the number of tillers was measured at two weeks intervals while rice yields have taken at harvest. Soil samples were taken yearly to monitor nutrient changes. Data obtained were analyzed with analysis of variance and mean separated with Duncan Multiple Range Test at α0.05. In the first year, NPK15:15:15 significantly gave the highest dry matter (6.28±1.45 t/ha) and grain yield (2.4±0.53 t/ha). While in the second year, 10 t/ha treatment produced the dry matter (7.69±1.60 t/ha) and grain yield (2.6±0.53 t/ha). In a residual study, the highest grain yield (2.8±0.72 t/ha) was produced in the plot treated with 10 t/ha, and it also gave the highest pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, and available P content. The compost at the rate of 10 t/ha can increase soil fertility and rice yield.
