Rice production is influenced by genotype, soil health, management factors and optimal nutrient supply. Farmers face declined yields due to a lack of awareness about high-yielding cultivars, deteriorating soil fertility and imbalanced nutrition management. Farmers may boost rice production per unit area by using superior rice cultivars, improving soil health and balanced fertilizer management. Keeping in view the aforementioned facts, a field study was carried out in order to determine the response of green soil (Trichoderma harzianum L.) in addition to NPK levels to coarse rice (KSK-133) and fine rice (Pk-386) at the Agricultural Research Institute (ARI), Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan during cropping season 2022. The layout method in this experiment was a tri-replicate randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangements. The treatments included control (having no fertilizer), NPK (RFD), green soil (1.75 kg ha-1), green soil + 75% NPK (RFD), green soil + 50% NPK (RFD) and green soil + 25% (RFD). The results revealed that growth parameters such as leaf area index, crop growth rate and number of tillers (m-2), as well as yield attributes, were found significantly better for coarse variety (KSK-133). However, a number of spikelets was recorded as maximum for fine variety (PK-386). Among the treatments, recommended doses of NPK resulted in maximum growth and yield including leaf area index, number of tillers m-2 and paddy yield with minimum sterility (%). The results showed that coarse variety (KSK-133) with the application of NPK (RFD) proved to be the best under agro-climatic conditions of Dera Ismail Khan.
