Abstract In a randomized block design, six different main plot treatments (T1: 100% RDN through inorganic fertilizer, T2: 100% RDN through FYM, T3: 75% RDN through inorganic fertilizer + Bio NPK consortium, T4: 75% RDN through FYM + Bio NPK consortium, T5: 50% RDN through FYM + 50% RDN through inorganic fertilizers, and T6) were applied to rice in the kharif season. In terms of nutrients, the soil on the experimental plot had a clay loam texture, low levels of organic carbon (0.42%) and available nitrogen (219.10 kg/ha), medium levels of available phosphorus (55.37 kg/ha), and high levels of available potassium (284.08 kg/ha). The electric conductivity of the soil was found to be around par, and its pH was tested to be 8.10.
