The economic feasibility of various treatment combinations of rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on the topic entitled “The economic feasibility of various treatment combinations of rice (Oryza sativa L.)” during two consecutive kharif seasons of 2017 and 2018 at Agronomy Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.) Experiment was comprised with sixteen treatment combinations viz. four planting geometry and four nitrogen levels in split plot design. Four planting geometry i.e. 15x10 cm, 15x15 cm, 20x10 cm and 20x15 cm were kept in main plots and four nitrogen levels i.e. 0 kg N/ha, 60 kg/N ha, 120 kg N/ha and 180 kg/N ha were kept in sub plots. The experiment was replicated three times. Results reveal that application of 120 kg N/ha applied in 20cm×10cm planting geometry recorded highest gross nutrient Rs. 102140/ha; net return Rs. 68415/ha and highest net return per rupees invested 2.02.
