Improving submergencetolerance and productivity of lowland rice (oryza satival. L.) through nutrient management in nursery

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of the year 2010–11, at Agricultural farm Bundelkhand university, Jhansi (UP) study of the effect of different fertilization levels viz. 0, 15, 30 kg nitrogen/ha on seed yield and quality of chickpea cv. Pusa 261. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design having three nitrogen fertilization levels combination with three replications. The growth parameters of chickpea i.e. plant height, branching plant⁻¹, number of leaves plant⁻¹, number of pods¹, dry weight (gm), and 100 seed weight was recorded higher of, 30 kg nitrogen per hectare as compare to other two doses i.e. 0 and 15 kg nitrogen per hectare whereas the minimum growth of chickpea was recorded of zero kilogram nitrogen per hectare. The maximum seed yield and protein content was recorded under 30 kg nitrogen per hectare followed by 0 and 15 kg nitrogen per hectare respectively.
