A. 50% at basal + nil at tillering + 50% at panicle emergence stage

B. Nil at basal + 50% at tillering + 50% at panicle emergence stage

C. 25% at basal + 50% at tillering + 25% at panicle emergence stage

D. 50% at basal + 25% at tillering + 25% at panicle emergence stage

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Nitrogen is applied to transplanted rice in the proportion of 50% at basal + 25% at tillering + 25% panicle emergence stage.
Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient required by rice at every stage of development. It promotes rapid growth and improves grain yield and grain quality through higher tillering, leaf area development grain formation, grain filling, and protein synthesis.
