A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of cultivars and phosphorus (P) applications on growth parameters of direct-seeded rice (DSR) during kharif 2016 at the research farm of ICAR- Central Rainfed Upland Rice Research Station, Hazaribag, Jharkhand. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The rice cultivars ‘Vandana’ ‘Anjali’ and ‘CR Dhan 40’ were included in main plots, and seven different P rates through SSP and microbial inoculants viz., 0 kg ha-1, PSB+AM, 30 kgP2O5, 30 kg P2O5 + PSB+AM, 60 kg P2O5, 60 kg P2O5+ PSB+AM and 90 kg P2O5 ha-1 were applied in subplot. Results obtained from the experiment showed that all the growth parameters like plant height, plant tillers m-2, dry matter accumulation (g m-2) and crop growth rate (g m-2 day-1) were recorded higher in rice cultivar ‘CR Dhan 40’ compared to ‘Anjali’ and ‘Vandana’. Likewise, highest values for all growth parameters were observed with P application of 90 kg P2O5 through SSP which remained at par with 60 kg P2O5 supplied through SSP along with microbial inoculants.
