Whole basal fertilizer application of paddy rice 'Hino Hikari' using coated urea and organic fertilizer

Abstract

We investigated growth, yield and quality of paddy-rice'Hino Hikari'under whole basal fertilizer application using coated urea and organic fertilizer. The decrease of seed yield under the organic treatment was approximately 5% when compared to the control. The decrease can be mitigated by increasing the manure imput. The quality of rice grain and ingredient concerning taste were also constant among the treatments. We concluded that the organic fertilizer used in this study has almost the same performance with the chemical fertilizer.
