ABSTRACT 

The research experiment was conducted at the Institute of Agricultural Research Greenhouse, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. The treatments used were USG @ 45,08KgN/ha, USG @ 72.22KgN/ha, USG @ 117.30KgN/ha and PU @ 117.30KgN/ha, LCC at critical level and control (without amendment) laid out in a Completely Randomized Design repeated three times. The data was subjected to statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using New Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Application of USG at 45.08, 72.22 and 117.30 kgN/ha rate in deep placement showed more increase in number of tillers (7.916, 9.750; 6.916, 9.500 and 6.750, 10.083) and plant height (20.120, 25.453; 20.290, 26.707 and 21.096, 26.540) than PU with (7.500, 9.250 and 18.540, 23.163) because the superiority of USG fertilizer over prilled urea (PU) in rice culture showed that fertilizer nitrogen recovery with USG deep placement was 65 – 95% due to availability in slow release of nitrogen under super granule while it was only 32 – 55% with the conventional PU which is broadcasted due to surface water run-off and lower amount of ammonia volatilization loss. The work shows some levels of inconsistency; hence it is recommended that the work should serve as a baseline for further research in the study area.
