Abstract: Spring rice plays important role in ensuring food self-sufficiency by complementing the production of main season rice in Nepal. To assess the optimal level of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in spring rice, a field experiment was conducted in Kanchanpur district, during Feb- June 2023. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatments viz., (T1), 120:40:40 NPK kg/ha, (T2), 180:40:40 NPK kg/ha, (T3), 60:40:40 NPK kg/ha, (T4), 120:60:40 NPK kg/ha, (T5), 120:20:40 NPK kg/ha, (T6), 120:40:60 NPK kg/ha and (T7), 120:40:20 NPK kg/ha. Hardinath-1 variety of rice was transplanted at spacing of 20 cm × 15 cm in all the plots. Data for growth parameters, yield attributes, and yield were collected and analyzed. Analysis of variance for all the parameters was done and treatments were compared at 5% level of significance. The statistical analysis revealed that the treatment T2, 180:40:40 NPK kg/ha was statistically superior in terms of yielding plant height, effective tillers, panicle length, grain yield and straw yield (P
