SummaryA field experiment, made during the rainy seasons oof 1982 and 1983 at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, studied the effects of blending urea with dicyandiamide (DCD) on the yield and yield components of rice. DCD-blended urea was as effective as neem-cake-coated urea in respect of yield components as well as grain and straw yield of rice and when all the nitrogen was applied 10 days after transplanting both the materials produced significantly more grain and straw than prilled urea. Urea super granules (USG) were superior to DCD-blended, as well as neem-coated, urea.
