Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif), seasons of 2008 and 2009 at a jhum field in a northeastern state of Manipur with a local rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar locally known as ‘Chang-ngat’. Application of a low dose of fertilizers (25 kg N, 20 kg P2O5, 12.5 kg K2O/ha) in conjunction with rice husk ash (RHA) @15 t/ha) resulted in optimum productivity and higher net returns
