The fertilizer dose depends upon the fertility of soil, planting season, variety and amount of organic manure applied to the crop. For a good yield, 15-20 tonnes of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil at time of last ploughing. Generally, application of 60-70 kg N, 100-120 kg P₂O₅ and 60-70kg K₂O is recommended for optimum yield. Half the dose of N and entire amount of P and K is given at the time of transplanting. The balance N is given four weeks after transplanting.
