Phenophasic study of rice varieties under different crop growing environment

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2018 entitled “Phenophasic study of rice varieties under different crop growing environment” at N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.). The experiment consisted of nine treatment combinations which comprised of three crop growing environment viz. July 15th, July 25th and August 04th and three varieties viz., NDR-97, NDR-2064 and BPT-5204. Results reveal that higher days taken to all phenophases from tillering to physiological maturity were recorded in crop growing environment of July 15th followed by July 25th. Among the varieties, BPT-5204 recorded higher days taken to physiological maturity followed by NDR-2064. Variety NDR-2064 followed by BPT-5204 were found suitable for higher growth, yield attributes and yield of rice. Crop growing environment of 15th July and variety NDR-2064 possess congenial weather and harvested maximum growth, yield attributes and yield of rice.
