Abstract

The application of neem extract coated urea (NCU) 50% basal + 25 % at tillering + 25% at panicle initiation (PI) stage recorded the maximum grain and straw yield. N concentration and uptake, nitrogen use efficiency and nitrogen recovery. The application of 30% NEU as basal + priDed urea (PU) 40% at tiDering and 30% at PI stage or NCU 75% basal and 25% at PI stage performed as good as application of NCU 50% basal + 25 at tillering + 25% at PI stage for grain yield, N concentration and N uptake of rice.
