Manuring and Fertilisation

 

The fertilizer dose depends upon the fertility of soil and amount of organic manure applied to the crop. For a good yield, 15-20 tonnes of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil. Generally, application of 120 kg N, 80 kg P O and 50 kg K O per hectare is recommended for getting optimum 2 5 2 yield. Half dose of N and full dose of P and K is given at the time of planting. The balance half of N is given as top dressing 30 days after transplanting.

 

For hybrid varieties, the recommended dose per hectare is 180 kg N, 100 kg P O and 60 kg K O. 60 kg 2 5 2 N and half of P & K are given at the time of transplanting. Remaining quantities of P & K and 60 kg N is top dressed 30 after transplanting. A third dose of 60 kg N is applied 50 days after transplanting.
