Effect of temperature on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2017 on the topic entitled “Effect of temperature on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars.” in sandy loam soil of N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.). The experiment consisted of nine treatment combinations comprised of three transplanting dates viz., July 5th, July 15th and July 25th and three varieties viz., NDR-97, NDR-3112 and BPT-5204. Results reveal that different phenophases of rice markedly varied with only dates of transplanting but also different weather variables which ultimately create the different crop growing environment to harvest the yield accordingly.
