Effect of Nitrogen Management Using Leaf Colour Chart (LCC) on Growth, Yield Attributes and Yield in Transplanted Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Subscribe/Renew Journal
A field experiment on rice (cv. GURJARI) was conducted during 2013-14 to 2015-16. The study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kheda to compare the farmer's practices of application of N fertilizer with N fertilizer application as per leaf colour chart .The N fertilizer application as leaf colour chart recorded superior in growth and yield attributes as compared to farmer's practices. The grain yield was recorded 47.7 q/ha and net income and B:C ration recorded Rs. 25950 /ha and 1:1.69 on pooled basis in N application as per LCC. The N save over farmer practices was recorded 48.8 per cent.
