Increasing the supply of N and P led to an increase in the nutrient uptake by the two rice varieties. The favourable effect of N on nutrient uptake was attributed to increased dry matter production while that of P was attributed to both increased concentration of the nutrients and increased dry' matter production. Swamp rice variety BG 79 absorbed more nutrients than upland rice variety Agbede, the superiority of the former over the latter variety being due to higher nutrient concentration and greater dry matter production. Flooded plant of the swamp rice variety BG 79, absorbed more nutrients than 'dry' soil plants of the same variety.
