Performance of an organic fertilizer on the growth and yield of rice

Abstract

A total of 9 treatments of Northern Jaibo-Sar (NJS) and Northern Bio
Fertilizer (NBF) in combination with different proportions of soil test based
fertilizer (SBF) together with a control was applied, Northern Shakti was used
instead of NBF in Boro season. Maximum net benefit and marginal rate of return
was obtained in case of T. Aman and Boro season from treatment T3. On the basis
of results, it may be suggested that 50% reduction of chemical fertilizer on STB
along with Northern Jaibo-Sar @ 500kg/ha may be a good combination of organic
and inorganic fertilizer for sustaining soil fertility and increasing T. Aman and
Boro rice.
