Two rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, Krishnasal (tall, upland) and Pusa-33 (dwarf, lowland) grown under upland conditions were compared for their dry matter production and N, P, K, Fe and Mn concentrations in various plant parts at different stages of growth. Krishnasal recorded higher dry matter and uptake of these nutrients in various plant parts at different growth stages as compared to Pusa-33. Nutritional imbalance in respect of Fe and Mn, particularly at tillering stage was observed in Pusa-33.
