Studies on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Hybrids under eastern U.P conditions

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2019 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to evaluate rice (Oryza sativa L.) hybrids under agro-climatic conditions of U.P. The experiment was carried out to find the performance of 10 hybrids, which laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) & replicated thrice. The experiment finding revealed that the treatmentKHR-27 performed better than other treatment i.e. plant height (113.60), tillers/hill (11.07), grain yield (8.16 t/ha), stover yield (11.37 t/ha) and harvest index (41.78%).
