Growth, Yield and Nutrient Uptake of Direct Seeded Rice as Affected by Nitrogen and Phosphorus Application

Pot and field trials using rice varieties IR 72, MR 84 and MR 142 were conducted to determine the effects of N and P rate on growth, yield, yield components and nutrient uptake of direct seeded rice. The experiments were carried out in a Randomised Complete Block design with four replicates, for...
