Boost Rice Yields and Quality with Organic Fertilizers, Study Finds
The study found that using a combination of chemical fertilizers and organic sources like farm yard manure increased the amount of dry matter and nutrients absorbed by rice plants. This led to higher grain yield and better quality grains. The organic sources helped transfer important nutrients like phosphorus to the rice ears and grains, resulting in heavier grains and more full grains. This shows that a mix of chemical fertilizers and organic sources can improve rice plant growth and yield.
