The present investigation deals with the effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrient on morphological parameters of rice in rice-wheat cropping system. A field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, kharif and rabi season during 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment carried out in randomized block design with three replication and seven treatments viz. (Control; NPK 00:00:00)T1, (recommended dose of fertilizer: RDF; NPK 150:60:60) T2, (RDF + S:Zn:B 40:05:1.5) T3, (Customized fertilizer of Tata Chemical N:P:K:Zn:B: 11:32:13:0.9:0.24 % @ 375 kg ha-1 + 179.34 kg ha-1 urea in splits) T4, (75% RDF + 25% N through sewage sludge) T5, (75% RDF + 25% N through vermicompost) T6, (75% RDF + 25% N through sesbania (GM)) T7. Results showed that the application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients improved plant height, tillers hill-1, leaf number hill-1, leaf area cm2 hill-1, leaf dry weight hill-1 and total plant dry weight hill-1. Improvements in treatments which were provided with inorganic nutrients, that too when RDF was supplemented with S, Zn and B (T3). Customized fertilizer of Tata Chemical (T4) was also effective in improving these parameters, but to a lesser magnitude than T3 in rice-wheat cropping system.
