A field experiment entitled “Effect of Nutrient management in growth, development and productivity of late transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.)” was conducted at the SOA University, Institute of Agricultural Science, Campus-4, Bhubaneswar during kharif season to assess the growth, yield attributes and yield as influenced by fertilizer management practices of two rice varieties. The experiment was laid out in a factorial design with two varieties (Naveen and Pratiskhya) and five nutrient combinations (F1: 80: 40 : 40 N: P: K Kg ha-1 (100% RDF), F2: 100 : 50: 50 N:P:K Kg ha-1 (125% RDF), F3: F1 + 25 Kg ZnSO4 ha-1, F4: F1+ 10 Kg Borax ha-1, F5: F1 + 25 Kg ZnSO4 ha-1. + 10 Kg Borax ha-1) and replicated thrice. Plants of rice variety Pratiskhya grew rapidly at all the stages of growth having more number of tillers and accumulated more dry matter than the ruling cultivar Naveen. It also produced more number of panicles, containing more bold grains with fewer chaffs as compared to Naveen. Interactive effect of Pratiskhya along with NPK (RDF) + S + Zn + B produced the highest grain yield as compared to Naveen and NPK (RDF) + S + Zn + B.
