ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted in a silt loam soil to compare the effect of N, P and K fertilizers on the yield and nutrient uptake by rice and post-harvest soil properties. Seven treatments were T0 (control), T1 (Urea + Triple superphosphate + Muriate of potash), T2 (Urea + Diammonium phosphate + Muriate of potash), T3 (Urea + Triple superphosphate + Ash), T4 (Urea + Single superphosphate + Muriate of potash), T5 (Urea + Single superphosphate + Ash) and T6 (Urea + Diammonium phosphate + Ash). Application of fertilizers significantly increased the grain and straw yields of rice. Panicle length, effective tillers hill-1 and filled grains panicle-1 were also increased significantly due to application of fertilizers but the increase of 1000-grain weight was insignificant. Grain yield was highest with T3 (Urea + Triple superphosphate + Ash) treatment (5.46 t ha-1) which was followed by T1 (Urea + Triple superphosphate + Muriate of potash) treatment (5.30 t ha-1), while the lowest was in control. The grain yields were increased by 47.0 to 68.0% over control due to application of fertilizers. The results on straw yield reflected similar trend as in grain yield. Application of fertilizers caused a significant increase during NPKS uptake by rice. The application of fertilizers had a negligible influence on pH, CEC, organic matter, total N, available P, exchangeable K, and available S content of the post-harvest soils compared to their initial status.
