Field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Gangavathi, Karnataka during the rainy season of 2015 and 2016 to evaluate nutrient practices for different rice establishment methods in comparison with puddle transplanting with recommended nutrient practice. Three establishment methods as main treatments and five nutrient practices as sub treatments were tried in split-plot design with three replications. Among establishment methods puddle transplanting recorded higher grain yield and among nutrient practices application of 200:100:100 kg N, P2O5 & K2O/ha, 150%RDF and LCC based N application resulted in higher grain yields. The interaction revealed that a combination of puddle transplanting with either 200:100:100 kg N, P2O5 & K2O/ha or 150%RDF and wet direct seeding with LCC based N management proved superior to puddle transplanting with recommended nutrient practice. However, LCC based N application in addition to maintaining on par yield with location specific practice also resulted in 31.5, 25 and 25% saving in N, P and K respectively and 10% saving in N against recommended practice and can be adopted by the farmers.
