Abstract
Rice productivity in Dakshina Kannada district of coastal Karnataka is limited by soil constraints like soil acidity, poor physical condition of the soils, low soil fertility and toxicity of nutrient elements and nutrient imbalance. Adoption of soil management practices like acid soil amelioration, integrated nutrient management, judicious use of fertilizers, soil and water conservation practices, inclusion of legumes in cropping system and adoption of site specific nutrient management are some of the agronomic management strategies suggested for realizing profitable rice production.
