An experiment has been conducted during kharif 2022 and 2023 to see the comparative performance of some liquid organic formulation on growth attributes and grain yield of Tulaipanji. The experiment was fitted out in randomized complete block design, with seven treatments and replicated thrice. Treatment comprising of vermicompost @ 3t ha-1 in combination of Sanjivak, Jivamrut, Amrit Pani, Panchgavya and vermicompost tea 20% foliar spray (FS) at 45 days after transplanting (DAT) which was compared with recommended dose (N: P: K= 50:25:25 kg ha-1) and absolute control. Results revealed that during the initial stages of crop growth i.e. 30 DAT, chemically fertilized plot recorded highest plant height (81.85 cm), dry matter accumulation (197.40 g m-2) leaf area index (1.47), chlorophyll index (221.77) and number of tiller m-2 (495.97). Thereafter in the subsequent stages of rice growth, combined application of vermicompost 3 t ha-1 and foliar spray of panchgavya 20 % at 45 DAT recorded ominously maximum plant height, dry matter, leaf area and tillers which ultimately helped in producing 0.30 and 0.99 tone more grain yield ha-1 as compared to sole application of chemical (100 % RDF) and absolute control plot. Rests of the organic treatments were performed better in terms of growth attributes as well in grain yield over 100 % RDF. Present experimental finding clearly reflects the superiority of vermicompost in combination with panchgavya for sustainable aromatic rice production.
