Abstract
The current study has been directed to find out a relationship whether such graded doses of nitrogen fertilizer can influence the pattern of micronutrient uptake and yield of the rice plant. The field experiment was carried out during the boro season of 2022 at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia. The experiment was designed in a thrice replicated Randomized blocks with nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 50, 100, 150 kg ha-1). A statistical analysis was carried out through Correlation- Regression studies which analyzed the relationship between nitrogen application and micronutrient uptake by rice. Correlation study of N uptake under graded doses of fertilizer application with the uptake of micronutrients followed the pattern Zn (r=0.985**)>Fe (r=0.962**)>Cu (0.953**)>Mn (r=0.947**) and Zn (r=0.980**)>Mn (r=0.948**)>Cu (0.944**)>Fe (r=0.939**) for rice grains and straw at harvest, respectively. The correlation of yield with grain N, straw N and N at maximum tillering stage also revealed a positive value. The Linear Regression (LR) models confirmed that incremental doses of N have a significant association with the uptakes of micronutrients. Thus, judicious management of N fertilizer can be a viable non-traditional approach for micronutrient nutrition in rice.
