Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai during 2022 to study the effect of supplemental nutrition on different varieties under drip fertigated aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.). The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with twelve treatment combinations and three replications. The treatment consisted of two varieties such as CO-54 and ADT-53 as the main factor and the sub-plot treatments included foliar application of 1% urea + 2% diammonium phosphate (DAP) + 1% potassium chloride at panicle initiation (PI) and 10 days later (F1), foliar application of 0.5% zinc sulphate and 1% ferrous sulphate at tillering and PI stages (F2), foliar application of 2% mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) + 1% potassium chloride at heading and grain filling stages (F3), foliar application of 1.5% fermented egg extract at tillering, PI and flowering stage (F4), foliar application of 1% ferrous sulphate at 25-30 days after sowing (DAS) (F5) and control - No spray (F6). The results of the study indicated that rice variety CO-54 coupled with application of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) through drip fertigation along with foliar application of 1% urea + 2% DAP + 1% potassium chloride at panicle initiation and 10 days later registered higher values for yield traits, total yield and zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) partitioning of aerobic rice.
