- Abstract
Field experiment was carried out at the Experimental farm, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar to study the production potential of traditional rice (Oryza sativa) varieties as influenced by EM compost under Cauvery delta zone of Tamil Nadu during August 2017 to January 2018 (samba season). The experiment comprised of three main treatments viz., Mapillai samba, Illupai poo samba and Seeraga samba (traditional rice varieties) and six sub treatments namely., Control, Recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN), 75% RDN + FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1, 75% RDN + EM (effective microorganisms) compost @ 5 t ha-1, 75% RDN + pressmud @ 10 t ha-1, 75% RDN + Green manure @ 6.25 t ha-1. The treatments were replicated thrice and adopting split plot design. From the results of field trail, among the varieties, Mapillai samba significantly recorded higher values of growth attributes viz., plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production and yield attributes like thousand grain weight. However, Seeraga samba registered significantly higher number of tiller hill-1, productive tillers m-2 and filled grains panicle-1. In respect of INM treatments, plots received with 75% RDN along with EM compost @ 5 t ha-1 significantly recorded higher growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yields. The least growth and yield attributes and grain yield of rice registered under control (No organic manure and fertilizer).
