Impact of organic fertilizers on growth, yield, and quality of paddy (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract

A research investigation into the impact of organic manures on the growth and yield of paddy was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Allied Industries, Rama University, Kanpur, during the Kharif season of 2023-24. The experiment employed a Randomized Block Design with eight distinct treatments. Findings indicated that the highest plant population was observed in treatment T6, which utilized Vermicompost at 5 t/ha, followed by Vermicompost at 2.5 t/ha. Similarly, the maximum yield was recorded for the T6 treatment with Vermicompost at 5 t/ha.
