Water and fertilizer management are essential to achieve high yield potential in irrigated rice soils. The effect of inorganic, organic fertilizers and their combinations under different irrigation intervals on yield and its attributes of Sakha 106 rice cultivar as well as, the availability of some nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, phosphorus and potassium) in the soil were investigated. A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm Sakha Agriculture Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt, during 2016 and 2017 rice growing seasons. Five rates of fertilizers; control without any fertilizer application (T1), 4.76 tons farm yard manure (FYM) /ha (T2), 4.76 tons of composted rice straw (CRS)/ha (T3), 4.76 tons FYM +110 N kg/ha (T4), 4.76 tons CRS +110 kg N/ha (T5) and the recommended dose of nitrogen, 165 kg N/ha (T6) were used under five irrigation treatments namely; continuous ..
