Abstract

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Rice Rich (Gluconate and lactate based organic nutrients) for yield enhancement of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Vertisols of Chhattisgarh during the kharif season of 2022-23. The experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm, Alesur, Dau Kalyan Singh College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bhatapara (C.G.), using a Randomized Block Design with 11 treatments replicated three times. The results indicated that the application of Rice Rich significantly affected various growth parameters of rice plants. The Panicle length, filled grain yield, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, and harvest index were also highest in treatment T5, closely followed by T4 (75% RDF + Rice Rich (Gluconate and lactate based organic nutrients) 4ml/L (30, 60, 90 and 110 DAT). consistently yields significant improvements across all parameters, offering farmers a valuable tool to optimize rice production, enhance grain quality, and increase overall crop performance. This study underscores the practical value of organic nutrient supplementation in modern agriculture. A study evaluated the effect of an organic nutrient supplement, Rice Rich, on rice grown in Vertisols. Rice Rich applied alone or with reduced fertilizer significantly improved plant growth and yield parameters like panicle length and grain/straw yield, showing promise to enhance productivity in these soils.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the application of Rice Rich, an organic nutrient containing Gluconate and lactate, had a substantial positive impact on various growth and yield parameters of rice. Notably, it led to longer panicles, higher filled grain yield, and increased test weight, highlighting its potential to enhance grain quality. Moreover, Rice Rich significantly boosted grain yield and straw yield with treatment T5 (75% RDF + Rice Rich (Gluconate and lactate based organic nutrients) 5ml/L (30, 60, 90 and 110 DAT) emerging as the most promising. These findings reinforce the value of organic nutrient supplementation, which synergistically complemented inorganic fertilizers, optimizing nutrient availability. Overall, Rice Rich shows promise in improving rice production, aligning with prior research and demonstrating its potential to enhance crop performance and yield.
