A field experiment on “Effect of integrated nitrogen management on yield of rice and chemical properties of sodic soil” was conducted at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Vaso during kharif season 2017. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with ten integrated nitrogen management (INM) treatments and four replications. Experimental result revealed that the treatment receiving 50% RDN through castor cake + 50% RDN through inorganic fertilizer (T7) recorded significantly higher grain yield (4461 kg ha-1) as compared to application of 100% RDN through inorganic, FYM and vermicompost but it was at par with rest of the treatments. However, straw yield (7974 kg ha-1) was observed to be significantly higher with the treatment receiving application of 100% RDN through castor cake (T4) than other treatments except treatment receiving 100% RDN through FYM (T2) as well as 50% RDN through castor cake and 50% RDN through inorganic fertilizer (T7). The organic carbon content of soil as well as available status of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium were remarkably improved and also significantly reduced the ESP after harvest of rice crop due to the application of treatment receiving organic manures alone or in combination with inorganic fertilizers.
