Information on the residual effect of fertilization is scarce for irrigated rice produced in lowland soils in Brazil. A field experiment was conducted during three consecutive years to evaluate the effects of residual and band applied fertilizers on irrigated rice yield in a Low Humic Gley Soil (Inceptisol). Mean dry matter and grain yield were significantly affected with applied fertilizer treatments, which did not happen for residual fertilizer treatments. Maximum dry matter and grain yield were produced under treatment which consisted of residual effect of medium soil fertility level plus green manure + 75 kg N ha-1, 90 kg P2O5 ha-1, and 60 kg K2O ha-1 (T7). The treatment of residual effect of medium soil fertility level plus 50 kg N ha-1, 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 40 kg K2O ha-1 (T4) did not show significant differences in comparison to T7 treatment. Number of panicles m-2 and 1000 grains weight were the yield components which were significantly affected with fertilizer treatments. Accumulation of almost all the nutrients in the dry matter and grain were significantly affected with fertilizer treatments.
