Alternate K sources are essential to preserve natural reserves and to recycle unused K containing stubbles. We have evaluated the performance of rice straw (RS) in farmers’ field KEYWORDS following integrated plant nutrient system (IPNS) for supplementing K requirement of rice and paddy soil; grain yield; Ipns; compared with agro-ecological zone (AEZ)-based chemical f ertilizer and farmers’ practice in Tista K uptake −1 Meander Floodplain soils of Bangladesh during 2013–2015. Application of RS @ 4.5 t ha + IPNS- based fertilizer replaced full dose of chemical K fertilizer without significant reduction in grain yield of Boro rice. The K uptake with RS incorporation was similar to AEZ-based chemical fertilizer use. Considering soil health and environmental issue, RS + IPNS-based fertilizer management was the best option for growing wetland rice. 1. Introduction essential for sustaining soil fertility and crop produc- Adequate rice (Oryza sativa L.) production is the key to tivity, although organic manures alone cannot ensure ensure food security in Bangladesh (Kabir et al., 2015) sustainable rice production. Therefore, use of organic because rice security is synonymous to food security and inorganic sources in an integrated approach is the in this country. Production of rice requires nitrogen best management practices for sustaining soil health and (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) as major crop productivity (Sarkar, Rahman, Rahman, Naher, & nutrient elements. These elements are important both Ahmed, 2016) under varied agro-ecological zones (AEZ) in terms of the extent of their deficiencies in the soils, of Bangladesh. and their potential for crop yield increase or decrease Rice plants uptake K in larger amounts compared to (Kamrunnahar, Ahmad, Iqbal, Akter, & Islam, 2017).
