Organic fertilizers boost wet season rice growth and soil health.
The researchers studied how different types of fertilizers affect the growth of wet season rice. They compared chemical fertilizers, vermicompost, and municipal compost. The experiment showed that using a mix of inorganic and organic fertilizers led to the best plant growth. Plants treated with a combination of inorganic fertilizer and vermicompost had the highest plant height and dry matter production. This means that using a mix of organic and inorganic fertilizers can improve soil quality and help rice plants grow better.
