rice productivity with less reliance on expensive external inputs, is gaining momentum all over the&#13;
world including India. IIRR has conducted a long term experiments in sandy clay loam soils&#13;
(2008-09 to 2010-11) to compare the organic and inorganic sources of nutrients for its productivity&#13;
and soil health in SRI vs Best Management Practice (BMP) of Normal puddled Transplanted rice.&#13;
The superior performance of SRI with higher microbial biomass corbon (17.2 %) coupled with&#13;
higher dehydrogenase activity (ug TPFg-1soil 24h-1) with SRI (182) as compared to BMP&#13;
indicating soil health improvement. SRI method with organic and inorganic nutrient application&#13;
yielded 15.66 to 22.76 %mean higher grain yield in wet and dry seasons respectively as compared&#13;
to BMP indicating a major factor contributing to positive SRI crop results is that its practices&#13;
(young seedling, wider spacing, inter cultivation with weeder, saturation of soil use of organics)&#13;
respectively taken together, create conditions in which beneficial microbes prosper due to well&#13;
aeration and improves the soil health.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Rice</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Soil</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2017-11</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
