Productivity and nutrient uptake of rice as affected by nutrient omissions in soils of different agro-climatic zones of Chhattisgarh

Author(s):
Tirath Das Sahu and Ravi Shankar Nag
Abstract:
Omission trials on nutrients were conducted at Instructional Farm in the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, I.G.K.V., Raipur, Chhattisgarh in Completely Randomized Design with two factors (treatments and soils) to evaluate soil fertility and identify yield limiting nutrients using rice as test crop. Grain and straw yield of rice were significantly reduced with the omission of N, P, Zn and S in all soils. Yield reductions were more pronounced with omission of N followed by P, Zn and S. Nitrogen was found to be the most yield limiting nutrient followed by phosphorus, zinc and sulphur in all the soils of three agro-climatic zones. Extents of limitations were more in Goda Chawar (Phunderdihari) soil as compared to Chawar (Rajpuri) soil in Northern hills zone. N, P and S were more limiting in Marhan (Madpal) soil in comparison to Tikra (Kachnar) and Mal (Chokar) soils in Bastar plateau.
