Kernel length and kernel breadth did not vary to an
appreciable extent due to different nitrogen
management practices.
The highest protein and amylose content
were registered with 100% N through fertilizer, which
was comparable with the other N management
treatments. Protein content is dependent on N content
of grain thereby increased the protein synthesis under
adequate supply of nitrogen.
The present study on integrated nitrogen
management in aerobic rice revealed that supply of
100% N through fertilizer urea, or conjunctive use of
75% recommended N through fertilizer and 25% N
through either Farm Yard Manure or Neem Leaf
Manure is required for better yield attributes, grain
and straw yields and quality characters of aerobic
rice.
