Field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Department Farm, College of Agriculture, Dapoli. Dist. Ratnagiri during Kharif seasons 2017 and 2018 to study the “Effect of establishment methods and nutrient management on yield and economics of Kharif rice (Oryza Sativa L.)”. The field experiment was laid out in a strip plot design comprising of twelve treatment combinations replicated thrice. The horizontal strips comprised four rice establishment methods viz., sowing of dry seeds by drum seeder at onset of monsoon (M1), SRI (System of Rice Intensification) method (M2), Transplanting by hand operated transplanter (M3) and Conventional transplanting (M4). The vertical strips consisted three nutrient management treatments viz., 100% RDN through organics (N1), 100% RDF through inorganics (N2) and application of 50% RDN through organics + 50% RDF through inorganics (N3). The highest grain and straw yield from Kharif rice were obtained when rice crop was established by conventional transplanting method with application of 100% RDF (M4N2) or transplanting by SRI method (M2N2) as compared to remaining treatment combinations during pooled analysis. The highest net returns and benefit cost ratio was observed in transplanting by hand operated transplanter and application of 100% RDF or INM during both years and pooled mean.
