Abstract

To increase the yield of Khao Dawk Mali 105 rice, proper soil and fertilizer management is essential. A field trial was conducted to investigate the effect of burnt rice husk
(BRH) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on Khao Dawk Mali 105 rice planted in Kula Ronghai soil series. The experimental design was arranged in 4 x 4 factorial in a randomized complete block with three replications. The first factor comprised four rates of BRH: 0, 6.25, 12.5, and 25 t/ha whilst the second factor consisted of four rates of N fertilizer: 0, 28.125, 56.25, and 112.5 kg N/ha. Results showed that BRH did not have a clear effect on grain yield at 14% moisture content but N fertilization at all rates significantly produced greater grain yield (1.36–1.68 t/ha) than did zero-N application (1.08 t/ha; P < 0.05). The addition of 25 t BRH/ha and 56.25 kg N/ha interactively promoted the significantly highest grain yield of 1.87 t/ha (P < 0.05). The BRH, especially when applied at 25 t/ha, induced the greatest concentration of primary plant nutrients in almost all rice’s plant parts. The concentration of N increased with increasing rate of N fertilizer while the rate of 56.25 and 112.5 kg N/ha resulted in the highest phosphorus and potassium concentrations in some plant parts of rice. Overall, N fertilizer had better positive impact on the uptake of primary plant nutrients in all plant parts of rice than did BRH. Sufficient N fertilization is essentially required for yield improvement of Khao Dawk Mali 105 rice and amending the soil with BRH along with appropriate N fertilization can increase the yield of this rice.
