- Abstract
Field experiment was carried out at the Experimental farm, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar to study the quality characters of traditional rice (Oryza sativa L.). varieties as influenced by of EM compost during August 2017 to January 2018 (samba season). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three main treatments (traditional rice varieties) viz., Mapillai samba, Illupai poo samba and Seeraga samba, and six sub treatments includes control, recommended dose of nitrogen, graded dose of nitrogen along with different sources of organic manures viz., EM (effective microorganisms) compost, FYM, green manure pressmud. The treatments were replicated thrice. The effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) practices on grain yield and quality character of traditional rice viz., kernel length and breadth ratio before and after cooking, hulling percentage, milling percentage and head rice recovery percentage was critically studied. Among the main plot treatments (traditional rice varieties), Mapillai samba significantly recorded higher values of grain yield, kernel length and breadth ratio before and after cooking, hulling percentage, milling percentage and head rice recovery percentage. In respect of sub plot treatments (Integrated nutrient management), plots received with 75% RDN along with EM compost @ 5 t ha-1 significantly recorded maximum grain yield and higher values of aforesaid quality parameters of traditional rice. The least values were recorded under control.
