Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted on “Organic management practices for basmati rice” during kharif season of 2014 at Central Research Station, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications, four organic nutrient management practices assigned on main plot and three soil-plant conditioner application on sub plot. The yield attributing characters viz. effective tillers per hill, dry matter production per hill, filled grains per panicle, grain and straw yield were recorded maximum with ON3: Dhanicha @25 kg seed/ha + FYM@5t/ha + neem cake 250 kg/ha+ Vermicompost @2t/ha top dressed at 20 DAT application (13, 67.2 g/hill, 85.8, 3529.1 kg/ha and 4783.6 kg/ha, respectively). Maximum filled grains per panicle (84.8), grain yield (3132.8 kg/ha) and straw yield (4241.9 kg/ha) were recorded with application of C3: spraying of EM (effective microorganism) at 20 and 40 DAT but were at par with C2: spraying of pot manure at 20 and 40 DAT. Return per rupee invested was highest in ON3 (Rs.2.29) and C3 (Rs.2.01).
