Abstract:
The wide category of organic fertilizers includes different product formulations which provide
plant nutrients besides improving the organic matter content of the soil. FYM and Vermicompost
are well known cheap organic nutrient sources obtained from agro wastes. The beneficial effects
of FYM and vermicompost increase the microbial population and organic carbon content of the
soil and promotes better plant growth. This approach tends to be ecofriendly thereby reducing
environmental pollution. The present study highlights the formulated effect of vermicompost and
FYM on soil nutrient status and nutrient uptake by rice. This study was carried by randomized
block design with three replication and eleven treatments, the treatments viz., T1- Control, T2-
50% RDF + 50% (FYM+VC), T3- RDF + 50% Enriched FYM, T4- RDF+ 75% Enriched FYM,
T5- RDF+100% Enriched FYM, T6- RDF+ 125% Enriched FYM, T7- RDF+ 150% Enriched
FYM, T8- RDF+ 50% Enriched VC, T9- RDF+ 75% Enriched VC, T10-RDF+ 100% Enriched
VC, T11-RDF+ 125% Enriched VC, T12 -RDF+ 150% Enriched VC. The results from T5 and T10
indicate that Enriched FYM and Vermicompost with NPK could improve soil fertility, Rice
productivity, Nutrient uptake, yields and quality. |
