Abstract

Analysis performed on more than 60 samples of 10 different paddy varieties showed 21.33 of the rough rice comprised rice husk while 13 of the husk constituted rice husk ash. The nutrient content of rice husk ash was 80.26 silica 0.38 phosphorus 1.28 potassium 0.21 magnesium and 0.56 calcium. Statistically nutrient composition is significantly influenced by varietal differences. As a potential material for fertilizer use the estimates of total nutrient supplementation available from rice husk ash per annum are discussed.
