Abstract: Rice is the world's single most important food crop, being the primary food source for more than a third of the world's population and grown on 11% of the world's cultivated area. Agronomical trial on Paddy and Wheat crops with Neem coated Urea as source of Nitrogen has produced significantly higher yield. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten treatments in three replications. Among different treatments, the maximum cost of cultivation was involved under the application of NCU based on LCC followed by PU based on LCC. The application of 100% RDN as NCU in 3 splits (Basal + Max Tillering + Panicle Initiation resulted the highest gross income and highest net return recorded under the application of 100% RDN as NCU in 3 splits (Basal + Max Tillering + Panicle Initiation). The application of 100% RDN as NCU in 3 splits (Basal + Max Tillering + Panicle Initiation) recorded higher B: C ratio followed by the application of 100% RDN as NCU in 2 splits (Basal + Max Tillering). The maximum energy input was taken under the application of 100% RDN as PU in 3 splits (Basal + Max Tillering + Panicle Initiation) and 100% RDN as NCU in 3 splits (Basal + Max Tillering + Panicle Initiation). The application of 100% RDN as NCU in 3 splits (Basal + Max Tillering + Panicle Initiation) resulted the highest energy output and highest energy output:input recorded under the application of control.
