Summary:

- The study investigates the optimal combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers for enhancing rice yield and sustainability in rice ratooning systems, which involve growing a second crop from the stubble of the first.
- The researchers found that the application of a combination of organic (farmyard manure) and inorganic (urea) fertilizers resulted in the highest grain yield, nutrient uptake, and soil fertility compared to using either type of fertilizer alone.
- The study suggests that this integrated nutrient management approach can improve the productivity and sustainability of rice ratooning systems, which are important for food security and environmental conservation.
