Growth of rice affected by different treatment applied in SRI method

摘要

Field investigations were conducted at research farm JNKW Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) during kharif season of 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study to the growth,development and production efficiency in rice by adopting suitable planting geometry, varieties andplanting depth. The study revealed that the 30 cm x 30 cm planting geometry had superiority in parameters viz., plant height, and functional leaves/ hill the 30 cm x 30 cm planting geometry had superiority in various parameters were significantly in plant geometry. Rice variety MR-219 with shallow depth of planting (2.5 cm) recorded better growth parameters viz., plant height, Number of tillers/m2 and functional leaves/hill were markedly superior in growth parameters. Grain and straw yields were superior with the MR-219 variety and 25 cm x 25 cm planting geometry with shallow depth of planting.
