Influence of rice hull ash and levels of p and k on growth performance of rice grown in sandy loam soils of Chikkamangaluru district of Karnataka

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Bhavikere, Chikkamangaluru, Karnataka State from 2018-2019 to know the influence of rice hull ash and levels of p and k on growth performance of rice grown in sandy loam soils.
