Organic Fertilizers Role on Antioxidant Enzymes in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In order to study organic fertilizers role on antioxidant enzymes in rice, an experiment was carried out in 2010 and 2011, in randomized block design based on 4 replications. Cow manure, poultry manure, rice straw and husk were used for formulation of organic fertilizers. The treatments of organic fertilizers CM, PM, CMR, PMR, and CPMR were used alone at 4t/ha in five treatments. CPMR 2t was used with ½ RDF (N-50, P-25, K-25 kg/ha) at one level and RDF (N=100, P=50, K=50 kg/ha) alone at one level. The plants without treatments considered as control. Antioxidant enzymes and Grain yield were significantly increased in all the treatments over control. The maximum grain yield (4776.52 kg/ha) was noted in plants treated with CPMR 2t +½ RDF. An increase in the grain yield at the abovementioned treatments was may be due to the increase of antioxidant enzymes which protected plant from the stresses.
