Abstract

Nitrogen fertilization and weed management is the major concern to yield maximization of rice. The study was conducted to assess the influence of nitrogen and weed control to yield improvement of aromatic rice BRRI dhan34.  The experiment included three nitrogen levels viz. 50, 100 and 150 kg N ha-1 as well as three weeding schedules viz. one hand weeding at 15 days after transplanting (DAT), two hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAT and three hand weeding at 15, 30 and 45 DAT. The experiment was conducted with randomized complete block design. The findings demonstrated important correlations between weeding techniques, nitrogen levels and yield components. When the crop was fertilized with 50 kg N ha-1 the highest numbers of total tillers hill-1 (8.53), effective tillers hill-1 (7.51), grains panicle-1 (128.0) and grain yield (3.97 t ha-1) were resulted. Regarding weeding practices, two manual weeding carried out at 15 and 30 DAT reported the highest numbers of effective tillers hill-1 (7.62), grains panicle-1 (128.1) and grain yield (4.10 t ha-1). The highest effective tillers hill-1 (8.33), the most grains panicle-1 (129.8), the grain yield (4.36 t ha-1) and straw yield (6.40 t ha-1) were found in two hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAT combined with 50 kg N ha-1 and the lowest grain yield (3.53 t ha-1) was obtained from one hand weeding given at 15 DAT along with 150 kg N ha-1. Therefore, the study demonstrated that BRRI dhan34 can be fertilized with 50 kg N ha-1 along with two hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAT to obtained higher yield.
