Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to study the “Effect of seed sowing and nutrient management in drilled paddy (Oryza sativa)” during kharif 2018-19 at Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four spacing and three treatments of fertilizer doses. Growth attributing characters such as total number of tillers plant^-1, number of effective tillers plant^-1, functional leaves plant^-1, dry matter accumulation plant^-1 was significantly influenced due to drilling soaked seed at 30 cm and application of 125:62.5:62.5 kg NPK ha^-1. The yield attributing character viz. number of panicle plant^-1, length of panicle, number of grains panicle^-1 and weight of grains panicle^-1 recorded maximum in Drilling soaked seed at 30 cm and grain yield, straw yield, biological yield (q ha^-1) and harvest index were significantly highest at drilling of soaked seed at 20 cm and application of 125:62.5:62.5 kg NPK ha^-1.
