I have planted paddy at 2 hector of land. The variety of paddy is for 90 days.
Can you please guide me about fertilizer, micro-nutrient application on my field?
Apply organic manure in the form of farmyard manure or compost or green leaf @ 5 t ha-1 and incorporate into the soil while ploughing. Vermicompost or coirpith compost @ 2.5 t ha-1 can be substituted for 5 t ha-1 FYM
Application of 25 per cent of the nutrient requirement as organics and 75 per cent as fertilizers during kharif season and reducing the fertilizer dose of rabi by 25 per cent gives comparable yield with full POP recommendation during both seasons.
A fertilizer dose of N2O5:K2O 20:10:10 kg ha-1 for the first crop and 30:15:15 kg ha-1 for the second crop is recommended for high yield .
