Growth dynamics and yield potential of different rice cultivars

Abstract

The study employed a split-plot design with four replications to analyze the impact of transplanting date and variety on rice yield. Main plots consisted of three transplanting dates, and subplots consisted of three varieties. The three transplanting of dated 15 July, 25 July, and 5 August of year 2015, were kept in main plot and three varieties of Sarju 52 NDR-359 and Swarna were kept in sub plots. The fourteen kilo-grams weighted seeds were used for nursery raising. Crop was fertilized with recommended dose of fertilizer of 120 kg N, 60 kg P2O5 and 60 kg K2O. Results indicated that Swarna yielded significantly higher with recommended fertilizer application.
