Abstract
A held experiment was conducted during 1982 on rice variety
KS-282 in order to evaluate the efficiency of pritled urea (PU) and
urea supergranules (U3G) aa affected by various methods (split
versus basal application) oa a moderately calcareous, sandy clay
Joam soil, The nitrogen rates tested as PU aid USG were 30, 69,
90, 120 and 150 kg ha™!.
The results revealed that USG applied as split was superior
in increasing the number of tillers per hill, 100)-grain Weight, grain
and straw yicld to PU split, which in turn gave better yield than
USG applied as basal dose, It was further observed that nilrogen
uptake was increased significantly with an increase in nitrogen
application rates. Greater nitrogen recovery was found with USG
split applications compared to PU split both being Superior to USG
basal apptication.,
