Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Centre of SVPUAT, Meerut during kharif2024. The study aimed to assess the effects of various combinations of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on rice growth, yield and yield attributes. The treatments were evaluated, including T1 (control), T2 (100% Recommended dose of fertilizer), T3 –75% RDF + 25% N, (Farm yard manure), T4 75% RDF + 25% N, (Vermicompost),T5 75% RDF + 25% N, (Poultry manure), T6 50% RDF + 25% N (FYM)+25% N (VC) T7 50% RDF + 25% N (FYM)+25% N (PM), T8 50% RDF + 25% N (VC)+25% N (PM), and T9 (25% of RDF + FYM+VC+PM). The effect of the different dosesof inorganic sourceswith various organic manureson yield attributes and yield. Application of T9(25% RDF + FYM + VC + PM) significantly improved yield attributes such as panicle length, filled grains, test weight, and grain and straw yield. T9 recorded the highest yield, showing a 9% increase over sole RDF application T2.
Keywords: Farm yard manure, Organic manure, Poultry manure, Recommended dose of Fertilizer, Vermicompost
