Impact of chemical fertilizer and composts application on growth and yield of rice in Northeast India.

ABSTRACT: Formulation of effective fertilizer management practice is crucial for sustainable rice cultivation. Prolonged application of chemical fertilizers can result in N loss into the environment, causing harmful effects. Application of organic fertilizer acts as an alternative source of nutrient supply for rice cultivation. The present study evaluates growth and productivity of rice due to sole application of three different types of composts, along with their combined application with chemical fertilizer. The three types of composts are compost made from organic component of municipal solid waste, vermicompost made from a combination of rice straw and cow manure and compost made from a floating mat found in Loktak Lake consisting of a heterogeneous mass of soil and aquatic macrophytes locally k
