Assessment of yield potential of aromatic rice under variable cultural management schedule under SRI.

Abstract

The SRI+60:40:40 kg NPK ha-1+51 ha-1 FYM (T8) produced higher plant height, number of tillers m-2 at harvest, dry matter accumulation g hill-1 from 60 DAT to harvest, root volume and root dry weight, number of effective tillers at harvest, panicle length, number of spikelets panicle-1, number of filled grain panicle-1, test weight, grain yield and gross and net return which was at par with Standard transplanting in most of the above characters, while the SRI+60:40:40 kg NPK ha-1+N Blending with FYM (T7) produced higher dry matter g hill-1 at 30 DAT, weight of panicle and grain breadth similar with the SRI+15-18 days old seedling (T10).
