Paper Summary

Organic manure and lime were tested on upland rice in a hilly region. The combination of 50% FYM + 50% SM resulted in the highest grain yield and production efficiency, comparable to chemical fertilizer. This treatment improved soil properties, reduced nutrient losses, and saved on fertilizer costs.
