EFFICIENT USE OF INORGANIC FERTILIZERS THROUGH RICE STRAW COMPOST UTILIZATION | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Rice straw is one of the raw materials used to produce compost, which provides nutrients that plants and soil need. Rice straw compost will help you get more bang for your buck when it comes to inorganic fertilisers. Farmers would need advice on how to use a mixture of rice straw compost and inorganic fertiliser (NPK) in order to prevent a decline in rice production. The experiment was carried out in a pot with a 24 cm diameter and a 26 cm height. P0 (0 percent compost + 0 percent NPK), P1 (0 percent compost + 100 percent NPK), P2 (20 percent compost + 80 percent NPK), P3 (40 percent compost + 60 percent NPK), P4 (60 percent compost + 40 percent NPK), and P5 (80 percent compost + 20 percent NPK) were the rice straw compost and NPK combinations used in this analysis. The Ciherang variety of rice seeds were used in the analysis, which used a randomised block design. As a result of the rice straw compost and inorganic fertiliser, physical, chemical, and biological soil properties improve, as evidenced by lower soil bulk density, higher soil water quality, higher soil organic C content, and higher total soil microbes. Rice straw compost can minimise the use of inorganic fertilisers by 20-80% while retaining yields. Rice straw composting will also help to reduce exhaust emissions from burning straw and achieve environmentally sustainable rice farming.
