Abstract
Field experiment was conducted on three wetland soils during the 2011 late growing season at Ekiti State University Teaching and Research Farm to investigate the response of wetland rice to four rates of N (0, ST, 100 and 150 kg N/ha). The results obtained from the study showed that, nitrogen fertilizer application had significant (P
