A field experiment was carried out at the Research Farm, Division of Agronomy, Sher-eKashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Jammu during the kharif season of 2014 to evaluate the effect of different transplanting dates and organic nutrient sources on growth and yield potential of basmati rice under system of rice intensification. The experiment consisted of three dates of transplanting and five nutrient sources. Results revealed that the transplanting of rice seedlings on June 30 produced significantly higher grain yield (33 q/ha) over July 15 (30 q/ha) and July 30 (28 q/ha) transplanting. The percent increase in grain yield with transplanting on June 30 and July 15 were in order of and over July 30, respectively. | Impact of different transplanting dates and nutrient sources on soil microbial population and grain yield of basmati rice Oryza sativa L. grown under SRI
