An field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Enriched FYM and fertilizer levels on growth and yield components of aerobic rice, results showed that Application of 125: 62.5: 62.5 NPK kg ha−1 recorded higher plant height (66.07 cm), number of tillers plant−1 (37.94), total dry matter accumulation (103.27 g plant−1), grain yield (53.54 q ha−1) which was better when compared to other levels. Significantly higher 1000 grain weight (23.37 g) recorded in application of 100: 50: 50 NPK kg ha−1 which was on par with level 75: 37.5: 37.5 NPK kg ha1 (22.78 g). Among the methods of application spot application of enriched manure recorded significantly higher plant height (66.12 cm), total dry matter accumulation (97.10 g plant−1), number of tillers (37.06), 1000 grain weight (24.24 g) and grain yield (54.03 q ha−1) due to timely available of nutrients. Interaction of spot application of enriched manure with 125: 62.5: 62.5 NPK kg ha−1 has registered higher grain yield (60.58 q ha−1) and filled grains panicle−1 (128.75) and higher 1000 grain weight (25.80 g)
