A field experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of 1998 ailQ 1999 at Annamalai University experimental farm, Annamalailldyar, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu to study the effect of organic and inorganic manures on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety ADT 38. Individual and combined application of organic manures (FYM, Green manure and Pressmud) along with inorganic fertilizers (100% and 75% recommended dose of fertilizer) had significant influence on plant growth and yield characters and grain yield of rice. Application of FYM @ 12.5 t ha−1 along with 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer combination exhibited the highest growth and yield characters than other combinations.
