Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to evaluate effect of nutrient management on growth and
productivity of Rice under System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and its residual effect on toria was
conducted at the farmer’s field, Chella Gram, Illambazar, near Sriniketan, during kharif-2012 and
Rabi season of 2013 in the lateritic belt of West Bengal. Effect of nutrient management plays a
significant role on numbers of rice effective tillers per m2
. Highest ricegrains per panicle and
length of panicle/m
2
in 2012 was recorded in paddy grown plot receiving vermicompost 5 t/ha +
75% Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (N: P: K=80:40:40 kgha
-1
). Effect of nutrient
management plays a significant role on toria yield. Application of FYM and vermicompost also
help to increase yield of rice and subsequent crop toria in lateritic belt of West Bengal
