Effect of organic nutrient sources on growth and yield of traditional scented rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety Lokti Machhi Selection -1

A field experiment was carried out during kharif seasons of 2023 at Research cum Instructional Farm, I.G.K.V., Raipur (C.G.), to study the effect of organic nutrient sources on growth and yield of traditional scented rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety Lokti Machhi Selection -1. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The treatment consisting of eight organic nutrient sources. Growth parameters of rice like, Number of tillers hill-1, dry matter accumulation hill-1, leaf area index, CGR, RGR, and yield attributing characters viz; Number of effective tillers hill-1, panicle length, panicle weight, test weight, number of sound grains panicle-1, grain and straw yield showed significant response towards organic nutrient sources. Significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes and yield was observed under application of 100% RDN (45% GM + 55% FYM) + Jeevamrit @ 500 litre at 15 days interval from 10 DAT as compared to application of other organic nutrient sources.
