Nitrogen and α-Ketoglutaric Acid Application Modulate Grain Yield, Aroma, Nutrient Uptake and Physiological Attributes in Fragrant Rice

The present study was conducted to assess the effects of nitrogen (N) and α-ketoglutaric acid application morpho-physiological attributes, aroma regulations and nutrient uptake in fragrant rice. Two fragrant rice cultivars i.e., Yungengyou14 and Yuxiangyouzhan were grown under two N levels i.e., LN: 0 g pot−1 and HN: 1.75 g pot−1 and two α-ketoglutaric acid levels i.e., − A: 0 mg l−1 and + A: 100 mg l−1, applied at 25 ml pot−1. Results showed...
