“…Rice varieties showed a non-significant effect on root length. Amongst varieties, significantly highest root volume and root dry weight were found in Shahsarang-1 (45.3 cc; 13.69 g) both over Lumpnah and Megha SA2 which may be attributed to its genetic characteristics (Verma et al, 2017).…”

“…Diverse agro-climatic conditions alongwith varying physiographic conditions have led to immense variability among rice cultivars in north-eastern region. North-east India is characterized with high +3 soil acidity/Al toxicity, heavy soils, carbon loss, and severe water scarcity during most parts of year though it receives high rainfall (Verma et al, 2017). Organic matter addition is considered as a noble intervention to improve soil physico-chemical and microbiological properties besides enriching soil fertility (Paul et al, 2014).…”

“…In NE India, continuous mono-cropping of rice has posed a serious threat to its sustainability characterized with stagnant crop productivity, declining soil organic carbon (SOC), multi-nutrient deficiencies with poor microbiological activities (Verma et al, 2017). In order to harness better crop yield, it is the genotype of any crop which plays a pivotal role in yield expression under given set of environmental and crop management situations (Choudhary and Suri 2018a;2018b).…”

Aim: To assess the influence of nutrient management practices on crop and water productivity, grain quality, energy productivity and profitability in promising rice genotypes of Eastern Himalayas. Methodology: An experiment was conducted at ‘Lowland Research Block’ of ICAR–RC–NEHR, Barapani, Meghalaya to assess the influence of different nutrient management practices [Organic nutrient management (through FYM + remaining P through rock phosphate); integrated nutrient management (INM) (50% NPK through fertilizers + 50% N through FYM + remaining P through rock phosphate); inorganic nutrient management (fertilizers); and absolute control] and rice varieties [Shahsarang–1, Lumpnah and Megha semi-aromatic–2] on productivity, quality, energetic and profitability replicated thrice in a split-plot design. Results: Rice grain yield was significantly higher in INM practice (4.18 t ha-1) followed by inorganic (4.02 t ha-1) and organic practice (3.74 t ha-1). INM practice exhibited highest hulling (68.6%), milling (59.9%), head-rice recovery (53.6%), protein content (7.56%) and protein yield (329 kg ha-1) followed by inorganic, organic practice and control, respectively. However, gross and net returns and B: C ratio were significantly greater in inorganic practice followed by INM practice. Highest TWUE (3.17 kg ha-1 mm-1), water productivity (47.6 INR ha-1 mm-1), energy output (140342 MJ ha-1) as well as net energy (130813 MJ ha-1) were recorded in INM practice. Interpretation: INM practice and rice variety ‘Shahsarang–1’ can be recommended to farmers for enhancing the rice productivity, profitability, resource-use efficiency and soil health in eastern Himalayan region of India. Key words: Energetics, Grain quality, Integrated nutrient management, Rice varieties, Water-use efficiency

“…biofertilizers) are gaining more importance as these are cheap and renewable source of nutrients thus do not cause any pollution (Suri and Choudhary, 2013a;Ahemad and Kibret, 2014). At the same time when these microorganisms are used as an inoculant then these help to increase the efficiency of applied fertilizers (Singh et al, 2005;Verma et al, 2017). These play an important role to enrich the soil with nutrients by different processes i.e.…”

Improved agricultural technologies are helping in meeting the foodgrain needs of growing global population while the arable land is shrinking. So, the excessive and continuous use of chemical fertilizers has ensured the high crop production and productivity of foodgrains. However, continuous application of inorganic fertilizers has created many problems related to biosphere i.e. environmental, soil and human being. In recent years, the scientists are concerned about biosphere hazardous; thus, reducing the extra burden of inorganic fertilizers by using microbial inoculants for integrated nutrient management. The microbial inoculations supplement the plant growth and yield by direct ways (increase in supply of nutrients i.e. nitrogen, production of metabolites such as auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins as well as through the solubilization of phosphate and other minerals) and indirect ways (biofertilizers eliminate the pathogens by the production of cyanide, siderophores, chitinase etc.). The microbial inoculation stimulates the plant to use applied as well as fixed nutrients i.e. phosphate efficiently, thus helps to reduce the fertilizers input. Secondly, biofertilizers are considered as economically feasible and environmentally safe.
