Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh during rainy (kharif), winter (rabi) and summer (zaid) season of 2004 and 2005 to find out the effect of various sources (farmyard manure, vermicompost and poultry manure) and rates of organic manures (100%, 125%, 150% RND) on yield, quality and economics of scented rice on a sandy clay-loam soil low in available N and medium in available phosphorus and potassium. Pooled data analysis revealed that the application of organic manure significantly influenced the yield attributes and grain yield of rice over 100% RND as urea (control). Progressive increase in dose of all the organic manures significantly increased the organic matter, soil microbial population,physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.
