Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Sheshambagh Agricultural Station Nangarhar, Afghanistan, to evaluate the effect of integrated application of inorganic nitrogen and organic nutrient sources on the growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Jalalabad-014).  The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with nine treatments and three replications involving different combinations of recommended nitrogen doses, farmyard manure (FYM), and foliar application of Panchagavya. The result showed that, the combined application of 100 kg nitrogen per hectare, with six foliar sprays of 3 percent panchagavya, significantly enhanced growth parameters, including plant height, tiller number, and leaf area index (LAI), compared with the control. This treatment also produced the highest yield attributes, such as effective tillers per hill, grains per panicle, and 1000-grain weight, resulting in maximum grain yield (10.83 t ha⁻¹) and straw yield (12.72 t ha⁻¹). However, these responses were statistically comparable with treatments receiving either 100 kg N ha⁻¹ alone or reduced nitrogen doses supplemented with Panchagavya and/or FYM. Overall, the results indicate that integrated use of inorganic nitrogen with organic nutrient sources, particularly Panchagavya, enhances rice productivity and may improve nitrogen-use efficiency under semi-arid agro-ecological conditions.
