A field investigation was carried out during rabi season (Pishanam rice) of 2012-2013 at wetland of Central Farm, Agricultural College and Research Institute, TNAU, Killikulam, to study the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on yield and yield attributes, and economics of transplanted rice. The treatments were laid out in a Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice using the rice variety ADT(R) 45. Among the different nutrient management practices, application of GLM @ 6.25 t ha-1 + Azophosmet + 100 % NPK registered significantly the highest yield attributes. The grain yield was increased, when GLM was integrated with 100 % NPK application (6030 kg ha-1). The grain yield was further increased, when Azophosmet was applied through seed and soil application along with GLM and 100 % NPK (6617 kg ha-1). However, it was on par with application of FYM + Azophosmet + 100 % NPK. The same trend was noticed in straw yield also. Application of GLM + Azophosmet + 100 % NPK recorded the highest net return of 74,108 ha-1 and B:C ratio of 3.63. From the experimental results, it could be enlightened that application of GLM @ 6.25 t ha-1 at basal, Azophosmet application through seed treatment @ 600 g ha-1 and soil application @ 2 kg ha-1 and recommended fertilizer dose of 150:50:50 kg NPK ha-1 could be considered as a better option for achieving higher productivity and profitability of ADT (R) 45 rice under transplanted condition.
