ABSTARCT: The long term experiment was conducted since 2008 at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research
Institute, Trichy, Tamil Nadu with Rice (TRY-1) as 10 th test crop during November, 2012 in the ongoing experiment with an
objective to study the effect of treated distillery effluent and NPK fertilizers on soil available N, K and the yield of rice crop. The
treatments were replicated twice in a split plot design. There were four main plots viz., M 1 (Continuous application of TDE), M2
(TDE application at once in two years), M 3 (TDE application at once in three years) and M 4 (Control) and six fertilizer levels in
subplots viz., S1 (Control), S2 (100 % recommended doses of NPK), S3 (50 % N alone), S4 (50 % N+50 % K), S5 (100 % N alone)
andS6 (100 % N + 50 % K) . The experimental results revealed that, the soil available N (252- 312 kg ha -1) and K (185-479 kg
ha-1) increased from the initial soil status to active tillering stage due to application of treated distillery effluent. The continuous
application of TDE along with 100 % RD of NPK (M 1S2) recorded highest grain yield and straw yield (5745 & 6894 kg ha -1)
which was on par with the continuous application of TDE along with 100 % N+ 50 % K (5700 & 6840 kg ha -1) and the
continuous application of TDE with 50 % N alone (5670 & 6804 kg ha -1). The control (M4S1) recorded the lowest grain and
straw yield (2184 & 2228 kg ha -1). This furnished the cost towards K fertilizer can be reduced by application of TDE thereby the
farmers can benefited by saving the fertilizer cost and also increased the yield of rice crop.
Key words: Treated distillery effluent, Available nitrogen (N), Potassium (K), rice, yield
