The effect of green organic mulches ( Sesbania aculeata  and  Leucaena leucocephala ) and nitrogen (N) levels on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake of rice ( Oryza sativa  L.) cultivar “Pusa Basmati 1509” was investigated in aerobic rice (AR) and transplanted rice (TPR). The levels of N were control (N 0 ), 75% recommended dose of N (RDN); and 100% RDN) applied through Chemical fertilizer and  Azotobacter chroococcum  a liquid biofertilizer. A Field experiment was conducted in split plot design with four main-plot and 5 sub-plot treatments. The main plot consisted of bare soil,  Sesbania  mulch (10 Mg ha −1 , fresh weight-FW),  Leucaena  mulch (10 Mg ha −1  FW), and TPR; and sub-plot consisted N 0 ; 75% RDN, 100% RDN; 75% RDN+ Azotobacter,  and 100% RDN+ Azotobacter . The highest grain, straw and biological yields (3.84, 6.74 and 11.6 Mg ha −1 , respectively) and nutrient uptake were recorded with TPR followed by AR with  Leucaena  and  Sesbania  mulch. Grain, straw and biological yield of TPR over bare soil were increased by 31.9, 26.6 and 28.3%, respectively. Uptake of Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu by rice under TPR were 52, 33, 36 and 33% higher, respectively than AR under bare soil. The highest grain, straw, and biological yields (3.86, 7.79 and 11.7 Mg ha −1 , respectively) of AR were obtained in 100% RDN +  Azotobacter  compared to the rest of the treatments. Therefore, the cultivation of AR with  Leucaena / Sesbania  mulch along with 100% RDN and  Azotobacter  biofertilizer can be most productive in the study area.
