The present experiment was conducted during kharif-2016 at ARS, Dhadesugur with ten treatments and three replications. Results revealed that the significant higher grain and straw yield were recorded with nutrients applied through SSNM approach (7,358 and 10,674 kg ha-1 , respectively) as compare to other treatments. Further, omission of major nutrients has resulted in yield loss of 56 per cent (-N), per cent (-P) and 20 per cent (-K) compared to SSNM treatment. Application of fertilizers as per SSNM approach noticed higher nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency ( and %, respectively) and potassium use efficiency of ( %) was noticed in STL rating method. | Effect of nutrient management approaches and major nutrients on dry direct seeded rice dry- DSR in TBP command area
