A field experiment was carried out during kharif, 2016 at the farm of ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Mangaluru, Karnataka state to study the effect of neem cake urea mixed application on growth and yield of rice under submerged condition. The soil of the experimental field was lateritic with acidic pH, medium in available nitrogen, high in phosphorus and low in potassium content. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments and each one replicated thrice. The treatments composed of absolute control, 100% nitrogen along with five treatment of urea and neem cake mixed in different propositions. The results indicated that number of tillers per m2 , number of panicles per m2 and plant height (cm) was significantly higher in treatment T3 comprising 100% RDN in three splits) with 100% Neem cake application followed by treatment T4 comprising 75% RDN with 100% neem cake application compared to other treatments. The grain yield and straw yield was significantly higher T3-RDN (100%) in three splits +Neem cake (100%) followed by T4- RDN (75%) +Neem cake (100%). The lowest grain yield and straw yield was recorded in treatment T1-Control where nitrogen was not applied.
