Abstract: The effect of varying fertilizer level on relay crops in rice experiment was conducted at Instructional cum research Farm of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, during the kharif and rabi season of 2001-02. The grain and stover yield, rice equivalent yield are significantly affected by the different treatments combination. The highest value recorded at 125 per cent recommended levels of fertilizer. Total N, P and K uptake differed significant due to different treatment. The highest value recorded at 125 per cent recommended levels of fertilizer.
Keywords: Relay crops, Rice equivalent, Stover yield
