A field experiment was conducted during Kharif seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 with an objective to assess the effect of different INM treatments on yield and quality of rice (cv. Ratnagiri-1). The treatments comprised of three sources of N at RDF (urea, FYM and urea + FYM), three levels of P (0, 75 and 100 per cent P of RDF) along with PSB and VAM inoculations (no inoculation and inoculation) and a control making in all nineteen (18+1) treatment combinations. Each treatment was replicated thrice in a randomized block design. Application of 100 per cent N through an equal integration of urea and FYM when super imposed with 75 per cent P of RDF along with PSB and VAM inoculations resulted in maximum grain yield and protein content of rice during both the years of investigation. It was closely followed by the treatment T19 receiving similar doses of fertilizers/manure as in case of T18 with extra addition of 25 per cent P of RDF without PSB inoculation. Thus, a saving of 25 per cent P of RDF for rice crop is possible under INM on Alfisols of Maharashtra.
