Growth and Yield of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) as Influenced by Different Crop Establishment Methods and Nitrogen Levels

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2016 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), SHUATS, Allahabad. The experiment consisted of three planting methods, (P1: Conventional transplanting; P2: System of Rice Intensification; P3: Machine transplanting) and three different levels of Nitrogen (N1: 60 kg Nitrogen ha-1; N2: 90 kg Nitrogen ha-1; N3: 120 kg Nitrogen ha-1) replicated thrice in a randomized block design. The results revealed that there was significant and higher number of effective tillers hill-1 (18.59) observed in treatment T9 (SRI + 120 kg Nitrogen ha-1) and same treatment recorded significantly higher grain yield (5.34 t ha-1) which was 39.42% higher than the lowest grain yield (3.83 t ha-1), however treatment T8 (SRI + 90 kg Nitrogen ha-1), T7 (SRI + 60 kg Nitrogen ha-1) and T6 (MTR + 120 kg Nitrogen ha-1) were statistically at par with treatment T9.
