Summary

The total N uptake, crude protein content, and recovery of N in rice grains varied with varieties. Increased levels of N application gave increases in total N uptake and crude protein content in the grains, though recovery of N in the grains decreased with increased levels of nitrogen application. Irrespective of varieties and levels of application, three split dressings of nitrogenous fertilizer gave greater total N uptake, crude protein content, and recovery of N in the rice grains than where all the N was applied at the time of transplanting of seedlings.
