To evaluate the effect of different N levels on yield and yield components of BAS-385, all the agronomic operations except those under study were kept normal and uniform for all the treatments. Panicle bearing tillers were also affected and treated plots produced more panicle bearing tillers as compared to control. Among the treatments, F4 (100 kg N ha-1) produced maximum panicle bearing tillers. The spikelets panicle-1 were produced more in treated plots than that of control. However, the difference could not reach the level of significance. Similarly the normal kernels were markedly affected by different levels of N. All the treated plots resulted in positive and desirable effects, except the control. But the difference among the treatment in general did not show any difference when compared among themselves whereas the normal kernels were increased. Paddy yield were also enhanced with the application of N and 100 kg N ha-1 seems to be the best under the given conditions.
