The reaction of IR20 rice to combination of carbofuran and urea was studied at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) in summer (Feb-Jun) 1983. The objective was to examine the phytotoxic effects of carbofuran and its interaction with N. The experiment was laid out in a factorial combination of three levels of N (0, 60, and 90 kg N/ha as urea) and four levels of carbofuran (0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 kg ai/ha) in a randomized block design with four replications. Soil at TNAU (11 degrees north, 77 degrees east, and 427 n above mean sea level) was a Vertisol (clay loam) containing 1.0% organic C, 99-8.0-254 ppm available NPK, 0.7 ppm OTPA-extractable Zn, with pH 8.2 and EC 0.3 ds/m. The crop was uniformly fertilized and kept insect free by spraying all plots with phosphamidon on a need basis, including plots treated with insecticide. Carbofuran was incorporated at planting to ensure minimum loss. N as urea was applied in three splits: 50% basal, 25% at tillering, and 25% at panicle initiation. Tiller production, leaf area index, root production, and grain yield increased with urea application up to 90 kg N/ha and with carbofuran application up to 1.0 kg ai/ha. Based on costs, the combination 90 kg N/ha and 1.0 kg ai carbofuran/ha was optimum. Costs were $2.5/kg carbofuran 3% granule, $0.5/kg N $0.2/kg rough rice, and $2.9/person (for labor).
