Energy crisis and higher cost vigorous N-fertilized seedlings is more of N fertilizer have created considerable tglerant and shows a better stand with more interest worldwide in the use of organic profuse tillering and less mortality under sources in crop production. The present conditions of intermediate deep water (15- investigation was therefore undertaken to 50 cm) and flash floods (Panda et al., find out the effect .of different sources and 1991). Moorthy and Manna (1982) reported levels of nitrogen on growth and quality of, .- that under shallow water depth (0-10 cm), rice seedlings to attain increased grain yield crop shows no difference with respect to under rainfed, lowland, transplanted crop performance whether planted with condition. seedlings from fertilized or unfertilizerAbstract
An experiment was conducted to study nitrogen nutrition of rainfed lowland rice nursery (Oryza sativa L.) using farmyard manure (FYM), decomposd Gliricidia leaves (DGL), urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP) each @ 60 and 120 kg Nlha proved superior in terms of dry matter, plant height and seedling quality (80% superior to the control). Addition of FYM @ 60 kg Nlha, inorganic (through urea or DAP @ 60 kg Nlha) and DGL could also improved seedling quality by 75,66 and 54% respectively.References
