A field investigation was carried out at Agronomy Research Farm-N.D. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj-Ayodhya during rainy (kharif) season of 2017 and 2018 to study the effect of different sources of nutrients on growth and yield of basmati rice. The experiment was laid-out in randomized block design with ten treatments and three replicates. The results revealed that plant height, number of tillers hill-1, dry matter accumulation
gm-2, length of panicles, grains/panicle, test weight, and grain and straw yields increased significantly over control due to fertilizer application. The maximum values of growth, yield attributes and grain (56.50 and 59.00 q/ha) and straw yield (75.93 and 78.43 q/ha) were recorded with 125% RDF+25% VC closely followed by 125% RDF+25%FYM, indicating the superiority of vermicompost over FYM. Application of VC and FYM was found to be more beneficial in terms of growth and yield of basmati rice. The uptake of N, P and K was highest with 125% RDF+25% VC and lowest in control. Net returns (Rs. 79976.78 /ha) and B:C ratio (2.22) were also highest with 125% RDF+25% VC.
