Summary
AbstractRakthasali, a traditional medicinal rice variety valued for its exceptional nutritional and therapeutic properties, is gradually disappearing due to the predominance of modern high-yielding varieties. Since standardized agro-techniques for Rakthasali are lacking, farmers often rely on inconsistent seed rates and nutrient management practices, leading to suboptimal performance. The present study was undertaken at the Integrated Farming System Research Station, Kerala Agricultural University, to evaluate the influence of different seed rates and nutrient management practices on nutrient uptake and economic returns in Rakthasali rice. The experiment, laid out in a factorial RBD with three seed rates (60, 80 and 100 kg/ha) and four nutrient management practices, revealed significant ef
