An experiment was undertaken to understand the present status of availability of fertilizer and its role in adoption of modern rice in Bangladesh. The result showed that yields of modern and local varieties were almost the same when no fertilizer was applied. Under moderate and optimum levels of fertilizer application, the yield of modern varieties was higher than that of local varieties by 24% and 37% respectively. The average yield response of modern varieties to application of 80-60-40 pound NPK/acre was 7.2 lb of grain per pound of plant nutrient applied while that of the local variety was 4.5 lb
