Summary

Paddy rice was grown without fertilizer after jute which had been supplied with nitrogen as neem cake coated urea (NCU), wax coated urea (WCU), ammonium sulphate or standard urea at rates of 0, 40, 80 or 120 kg N ha−1. NCU or WCU applied to jute increased the dry matter and grain yield of the rice, suggesting that enough nitrogen is left behind to grow a subsequent rice crop without further fertilizer application.
