Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to assess the response of hybrid rice to different crop establishment methods and fertilizer sources under upland situation on lateritic soil during Kharif seasons of 2009 and 2010. The crop established by transplanting recorded significantly higher growth as well as yield attributes resulting into significantly more grain and straw yield. Significantly higher nutrient uptake was recorded due to the transplanting. The application of Urea-DAP briquettes produced higher growth and yield attributing characters, as well as nutrient uptake.
