Abstract

Response of nitrogen, magnesium and boron along with the recommended dose of phosphorus, potassium were studied on hybrid rice (ProAgro 6201) through a field experiment laid out in split plot design for two consecutive years (2001 and 2002) at Research farm, Department of Agronomy, BHU, Varanasi. Increasing rate of nitrogen, magnesium and boron brought about marked improvement in almost all the yield components of hybrid rice with subsequent decrease in sterility percentage. Consequently significant increase in grain yield as well as profitability was recorded due to incorporation of 180 kg nitrogen, 40 kg magnesium and 2 kg boron ha-1.
