ABSTRACT
RESPONSE
OF T.
AMAN RICE (BRRI dlian 40) TO MANURE AND GREEN MANURE AS A
COMPONENT
OF
INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT (INM)
A (kId experiment was earned out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAt)) Farm during the
kharif period from July. 2011 to November 2011 to evaluate the response of BRRI dhan 40 to green
manure & cowdung as a component of Integrated Nutrient Management The (kId experiment was
conducted in combination with inorganic fertilizer and organic manure, The Red Brown Terrace Soil
of Teigoan series was silty loam in texture having pH 5.6 The experiment was conducted in a
Randonli7ed Complete Block Design (RCBD) with II treatments and 3 replications. The treatments
were

The result
demonstrated that the yield contributing characters, grain and straw yields were significantly
infitieneed by the added fertilizers and manure. Application of 70 % NPKS fertilizers -'- 4 c ha"

increases over control and ranges between. 31.18 to 86.31 %.The treatments 'I', and T

higher nutrient use efficiency along with higher N. P. K and S uptake by the T. Aman rice. The
application of inorganic lbrtilizer with manure inlluenced the nutrient concentration in rice grain and
straw. The higher grain N, P. K and S concentrations were observed in the treatments where dhaincha
and cowdung were applied in combination with NPKS fertilizers. Grain yield of 'I'. Aman rice was
positively correlated with number of effective tiller, plant height, panicle length. filled grain per
panicle and straw yield. The combined application of fertilizer and organic manure increased the %

The overall findings of the study indicate that the integrated use of inorganic fertilizer and organic
manure should be encouraged to address the deteriorating soil fertility and increased crop yield ofT.
