Abstract

An experiment was conducted in both kuruvai (June to September) and thaldi (October to January) seasons of 201417 at Aduthurai, Tamil Nadu, using omission-plot technique, to study the indigenous soil nutrient supply and nutrient-use efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa L.) field. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 4 replications and 6 treatments, viz. T1, N PK; T , NP0K; T , NPK ; T , NPK; T , NPK + ZnSO ; T ,-F. The re- 0 2 3 0 4 5 4 6 sults showed that, indigenous soil nitrogen supply ranges from 51 to 55 kg/ha. The optimum values of recovery ef- ficiency, physiological efficiency, agronomic efficiency, partial factor productivity and internal efficiency were ob- tained in both the seasons. To achieve the target yield of 7 t/ha in kuruvai, fertilizer rate was calculated as 118, 34.4 and 48 of N, P and K kg/ha and in thaladi it was 67, 23 and 30.9 of N, P and K kg/ha to attain the target of 5 t/ ha. The data also indicated that application of recommended dose of NPK along with ZnSO (T ) in both the sea- 4 5 sons recorded higher grain and straw yields and higher nutrient uptake (N, P and K).
