“…The low N content may be attributed to the low OC content of these soils, less addition of organic manures, heavy uptake of N by the improved cultivars of rice used for cultivation and loss of added nitrogenous fertilizers by leaching due to heavy rainfall. Similar observations were also reported in rice growing soils of Birbhum district in West Bengal [15]. Katkar et al [16], Patangray et al [17] and Zalte et al [18] also reported similar ranges of available N in the soils of Bhandara, Yavatmal and Amravati (Chikhaldara tehsil) districts of Maharashtra.…”

The present study was undertaken to assess the status of available macronutrients, viz., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) in relation to soil chemical properties for delineating the fertility status of rice growing soils of Gadchiroli tehsil, Maharashtra. For this, fifteen villages were selected and soil samples were collected from the rice growing fields (0-20 cm depth) after the harvest of crop during the year 2020-21. The soils were found to be slightly acidic to neutral in reaction (pH 5.64 to 6.97), non-saline (EC 0.02 to 0.18 dS m-1) and non-calcareous (CaCO3 0.05 to 1.15 %), with low contents of soil organic carbon (2.1 to 5.4 g kg-1). The available N and S were also low, with ranges varying from 87.81 to 269.70 kg ha-1 for available N and 5.48 to 15.34 mg kg-1 for available S. The available P2O5 content was moderate in the soils, ranging from 23.17 to 41.98 kg ha-1. The available K2O content, however, was found to be very diversified ranging from 123.54 to 465.71 kg ha-1. Correlation studies revealed a highly significant positive correlation between the macronutrients and the soil OC and EC. While, pH and free calcium carbonate showed a negative correlation with the macronutrients, except for potassium, which showed a positive and significant correlation with pH of the soil.

“…2 (2021) RESPONSE OF RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.) TO SOIL AND FOLIAR APPLICATION... is considered as an indicator for evaluating sustainability of soil and crop management practices (Gregorich et al, 1994;Doran & Zeiss, 2000;El-Halim, 2013). Soil testing provides the information about the nutrient status of the soil (Mandal & Ghosh, 2021). Researchers reported that paddy soil conditions are not adequate for attainable Zn usually, hence Zn insufficiency has been noted in rice soils (El-Hissewy et al, 2016;Mosaad, 2019).…”

I N CEREAL crops Zinc (Zn) deficiency has become a major problem which causes reduction in yield and nutritional quality of the cereal grain, thus affecting human health. Being an essential micronutrient for the production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop, Zn deficiency appears to be an acute problem for the human population whose staple food is rice. Small increase in the nutritive value of rice can thus contribute to the human nutrition. Thus, increasing the micronutrient content of a food crop with the help of enriched fertilizers appears to be an effective way. During two successive growing seasons (wet season, 2017 and dry season, 2018) at the experimental farm of PalliSiksha Bhavana, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal, India, field experiments were carried out to assess the potential of Zn fertilizer on plant height, grain quality, leaf chlorophyll and leaf Zn content of rice plant variety MTU-1010 by application of foliar Nano-ZnO (Zinc oxide) and soil ZnSO 4 .7H 2 O (Zinc Sulphate Hepta Hydrate). In both seasons, each experiment was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replicates. Soil Zn as ZnSO 4 .H 2 O applications were assigned in the plots at the rate of 5 kg/ha and 0.30% nano-ZnO were assigned as foliar Zn spray along with the basal doses of 80 kg nitrogen (N), 40 kg phosphorus (P 2 O 5 ) and 40 kg potassium (K 2 O)/ha as per the treatment details. After 15 days, 30 days, 45 days from transplanting and at the time of flowering as well as post-flowering chlorophyll (a, b, a+b) and Zn in rice plant leaves were determined. Plant heights were recorded after 30 days, 60 days and 90 days from transplanting and at the time of harvest. Quality parameters such as amylose, starch and crude protein content of the grain samples were determined at harvest stage. The results obtained from present assessment showed that, application of soil as well as foliar Zn resulted in significant increase in leaf Zn content, chlorophyll content, grain crude protein and plant height compared to the control. No significant effect on starch and amylose was recorded with Zn fertilization. Foliar spraying with 0.30% nano-ZnO at the time of flowering and post flowering showed a significant augmentation in leaf Zn concentration, chlorophyll content, plant height and quality of rice grain compared to the treatments receiving soil Zn application. Therefore, it is considered as a more beneficial treatment in the cultivation of rice plants to promote plant growth and quality.
