It is observed that fine rice is a profitable farming venture for farmers and a good source of livelihood (Giovannucci, 2005). The income potential is higher for fine rice cultivation since it does not require extra input. In contrast, the indiscriminate use of fertilizers increases the thickness of the rice and reduces aroma (Sarker, 2007). The use of organic fertilizers in traditional practices is believed to enhance the aroma and preserve the fineness, as mentioned by the farmers. In this regard, fine aromatic rice could be a potential choice for organic rice cultivation.
