Effect of Nitrogen and Potassium On Yield and Yield Components of Rice
Effect of Nitrogen and Potassium On Yield and Yield Components of Rice
Treatments
N0-0 (control), K0-0 (control)
N1-85 kg N ha-1, K1-31 kg K ha-1
N2-114 kg N ha-1, K2-62 kg K ha-1
P-12 kg ha-1
Nine treatments will be assigned in a randomized complete block design
(RCBD) with four replications. Between treatments and each treatment will be
separated from the surrounding field about 1.0 m by double bunds to prevent other
contamination that effect on treatments such as mixing fertilizer during irrigation
or drainage.
Nitrogen supplied in the form of urea with N content of 46% and K fertilizer
was potassium chloride with K2O content of 60%. These fertilizers will be applied
in three splits at transplanting time (basal, active tillering and panicle
initiation).The basal fertilizer at the rate of triple super phosphate will be applied.
Crop Measurement
-Plant height
-Number of tillers per hill
-Number of panicles per hill
-Panicle length
-Number of grains per panicle
-Filled grain percentage
-Unfilled grain percentage
-1000 grain weight
-Harvest index (HI)
-Grain yield (kg/ha)
Statistical Procedure
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for observed data will be analyzed by statistics
th
(8 version) and the treatment means will be separated by least significant
difference value (LSD) at 5% level.
Expected Outcome
The result will provide the suitable rate of nitrogen and potassium for yield and
yield components of rice.
