Abstract: A field experiment was conducted on plot No. 30 of ‘C’ block during Kharif season of 2016 and 2017 to evaluate the, “Effect of age of seedling, levels and methods of fertilizer application on growth, yield and quality of rice (Oryza Sativa L.)†at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.). The result of present study revealed that the 20 days seedling produced significantly the highest growth character, yield attributes, grain and straw yield (q ha-1) as compared to 30 days and 40 days seedling in that descending order during both years. Among different levels of fertilizer application, the 125% RDF significantly increased growth parameters, yield attributes, grain and straw yield followed by 100% RDF and 75% RDF in that descending order. Except, plant height and test weight 125% RDF remained at par to 100% RDF in individual or both years of study. The significantly higher value of growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yields (q ha-1) were recorded in treatment K4 (K2 + Zn, B and Cu spray) followed by K3 (K1 + Zn, B and Cu spray) which were on par with each other and significantly superior than remaining all treatments under study during both years. While, number of tillers hill-1, number of panicle hill-1, number of unfilled grains panicle-1, test weight were not influenced significantly as different methods of fertilizer application during both years. The interaction effect of age of seedling and levels of fertilizer found to be significant and the treatment combination A1F1 produced significantly highest filled grain panicles-1 than rest of treatment combinations. Interaction effects the treatment combination A1F1K4 showed the highest value of grain and straw yield in pooled mean of year 2016 and 2017.
