Abstract:
A field investigation was conducted during Rabi season 2021-2022 at Krishna College of Agriculture and Technology, Affiliated to TNAU, Coimbatore-3, Tamil Nadu, India. To study the Evaluation of different organic nutrients on growth and yield of Traditional Rice (Oryza sativa L.), under SRI method. The experiment was laid out in RBD design with three replications. Seven different treatments are consisted of T₁- Absolute Control, T₂- Azolla @ 5t ha^-1, T3- E-FYM @ 750 kg ha^-1, T₄- Vermicompost (2.5 t ha^-1), T₅- Azospirillum + Phosphobacteria (600g ha^-1), T6- Panchagavya (3%) & T₇- Neem cake (400 kg ha^-1). The results of the experiment revealed that application of E-FYM @ 750 kg ha^-1 (T₃) was recorded the highest growth and yield parameters, plant height (150.67 cm), LAI (17.07), DMP (7705 kg/ha) on 90 DAP & harvest, no of tillers/hill (27), no of grains /panicle (176), grain yield (3135 kg/ha), straw yield (6650 kg/ha) and harvest index (48.26) percentage.
