Background: Briquettes is more efficient than conventionally applied nutrients as it reduce the loss of nutrients by obtaining higher yield and decreased the expenditure cost of fertilizers. Indian soils are 49 per cent deficient in zinc which is characterized by widespread Zn deficiency in human beings. Methods: Three different zinc fortified briquettes viz., UB-DAP, UB-suphala and UB-KAB were tested in field experiments during kharif season of 2016-19 to compare and calculate variations in yield, yield attributing characters and nutrients uptake by rice (Oryza sativa L.). Result: The results showed that treatment UB-KAB fortified with 10 kg ZnSO4.7H2O ha-1 (T8) registered higher growth, yield parameters and Zn concentration in grain indicating zinc-sulfate-heptahydrate (ZSHH) offers vital solution to curtail Zn malnutrition. Further, UB-KAB fortified through ZSHH (T8) significantly enhanced the grain (55.2 q ha-1) and straw (63.6 q ha-1) yield of rice over RDF and absolute control. Application of UB-KAB fortified with 10 kg ZnSO4.7H2O ha-1 (T8) significantly increased nutrient uptake of N (97.2 kg ha-1), P (20.2 kg ha-1), K (95.5 kg ha-1), Zn (262.4 g ha-1) and S (53.9 kg ha-1) over fertilizer control (75% RDF) and absolute control. The applications of KAB fortified with zinc sulphate assume great significance in improving rice productivity.

Field experiments were conducted at Patuakhali Science and Technology University research farm during 2009 T. Aman season to investigate the effect of tidal submergence on potassium nutrition and yield of rice. The experiment included two levels of irrigation water source- i) tidal water and ii) ground water, and three levels of fertilizers- i) absolute control (no fertilizer), ii) NP (K omission), and iii) NPK (K addition). The rice varieties were BR23 (HYV) and Lalmota (traditional variety). A general increase in growth, yield and yield contributing parameters were found due to irrigation with tidal water. Tidal water contributed about 19% (BR23) and 11% (Lalmota) higher grain yield in Aman season 2009 compared to that grown with ground water. Potassium contents of rice grain and straw were always higher when plants are irrigated with tidal water. In general, tidal submergence increased K uptake of rice. The K uptake by BR23 under tidal water was about 47, 43 and 8 kg/ha more than those recorded with ground water irrigation under absolute control, K omission and K addition treatments, respectively whereas it was 31, 21, and 68 kg/ha, in Lalmota. The results indicated that whether fertilizers were applied or not plants absorb considerable amount of K from tidal water. Bangladesh J. Agril.

A field experiment on rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop was conducted at Rice Research Station, Kaul (Kaithal), India during kharif season of 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the optimum schedule of nitrogen application in the rice grown under early and late planting conditions. The treatments consisted of three timings of transplanting (3rd week of June, 1st week of July and 3 rd week of July), four levels of N (90, 120, 150 and 180 kg Nha-1) and four timings of N fertilizer application (½ at transplanting + ½ at 21 DAT, ½ at 21 DAT + ½ at 42 DAT, 1/3 at transplanting + 1/3 at 21 DAT + 1/3 at 42 DAT and LCC based N supply) and were laid out in split-plot design with transplanting time and N levels in main plots and N application time in sub-plots. The growth parameters (plant height, number of tillers/m2 and dry matter accumulation/m2), yield attributing characters (number of panicles/m2 and grains/panicle) and yield (grain and straw yield) of rice crop reduced significantly under late planting (3rd week of July) as compared to that under the two earlier plantings (3rd week of June and 1stweek of July) whereas the two earlier plantings were at par in respect of these parameters. The growth, yield attributes and the yield increased with every increase in N application rates but the increase was significant up to 150 kg Nha-1. The highest yield was (7.33 tha-1), however, obtained with the crop transplanted early (up to1st week of July) and supplied with 150 kg Nha-1.Application of N in three equal splits (at 0, 21 and 42 DAT or as per LCC schedule), being at par, resulted into higher yield (grain and straw) than the N application in two equal splits. The net returns and B: C ratio increased appreciably with increase in N application levels upto 150 kg Nha-1 obviously due to increase in crop yield.

Field experiments were conducted during Kharif-2017 and 2018 at ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Mangaluru of coastal Karnataka to study the effect of integration of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen on the yield of midland rice. The results indicated that the integration of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen significantly influenced the growth and yield attributes of rice. The highest grain yield (5434 and 5372 kg ha-1) and straw yield (6817 and 6927 kg ha-1) were recorded in the treatment comprising VC substituted with 50 percent recommended dose of nitrogen which was on par with PM substituted at 50 percent in both the years. A similar trend was also noticed in both the years for the growth and yield parameters where the highest plant height (94.93 and 96.30 cm) highest productive tillers (16.85 and 18.12) and longer panicle length (17.54 and 18.65 cm) was recorded in the treatment where 50 percent nitrogen was substituted by vermicompost compared to control. The remaining treatments of organic substitution ratios with urea also had a beneficial effect on yield and yield parameters of rice compared to control.

A pot experiment was conducted in Kharif 2009 and 2010 to study the effect of potassium humate and chemical fertilizers on growth and yield attributes of rice (Oryza sativa L). Potassium humate was applied at the rate of 0, 5 and 10 mg/kg soil along with 100 and 75% recommended dose of fertilizers NPK (60, 30, 30 mg/kg) and 12.5 mg/kg zinc sulphate was also applied. Addition of 10 mg/kg PH along with 100% NPK fertilizers and 12.5 mg/kg zinc sulphate caused significant increase in plant height, number of tillers, panicle height, panicle length, test weight, straw yield and yield of rice as compared to 100 and 75% NPK alone.
