Influence of organic and inorganic nutrient management practices on yield, economics and quality parameters of aerobic rice

Influence of Neem Coated Urea and Micronutrients on Performance of Rice under Aerobic Condition

“…Traditional rice cultivation requires continuous irrigation or flooding that raises the question on the availability of water in future. Thus, it is very crucial to adopt a low water utilizing approach that can produce enough to meet the food demands of increasing population without hampering the water availability in the long run.Aerobic rice is projected as sustainable rice production system for the immediate future to address water scarcity, soil health and environmental safety in the scenario of global warming (Basha and Basavarajappa, 2016). International Rice Research Institute developed the "aerobic rice technology" to address the water crisis in tropical countries.…”

Organic nutrient management in aromatic rice-rice sequence: A critical review

“…Application of organic amendments increased soil microbial population of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and BCG which further influenced the soil dehydrogenase activity and phosphate enzyme activities and recorded the maximum value over control and RDF in basmati rice-wheat-green gram cropping system at IARI, New Delhi (Brajendra et al, 2016). Basha et al, (2017) [10] from Dharwad reported that integrated application of Farmyard manure(1/3) + vermicompost (1/3) + green leaf manure (1/3) equivalent to RDN(100kg/ha) with recommended FYM(5t/ha)+ microbial consortium (Azospirillum+ PSB) with soil application of bio digester @ 2500 l/ ha at 30, 60, 90 DAS recorded significantly higher nitrogen fixers (42.7 and 39.8 x 10 3 cfu/g soil), PSB(44.2 and 41.8 x 10 4 cfu/g soil), Azospirillum population (3.95 and 0.08 x 10 6 cfu/g soil), dehydrogenase (15.7and 41.3g TPF/g /soil/day) and phosphatase (29.9 and 28.7 g pNP/g/soil/ha) at flowering and harvest, respectively in aerobic rice in clay soil. However, they also reported that soil application of bio digester, the liquid organic manure @2500l/ha at 30, 60, 90 DAS recorded significantly higher nitrogen fixers (34.4 and 31.6 x 10 3 cfu/g soil), PSB (31.0 and 28.3 x 10 4 cfu/g soil), Azospirillum population (1.90 and 0.31 x 10 6 cfu/g soil) at flowering and harvest, respectively in aerobic rice in clay soil.…”
