Abstract

The current study "Performance of rice varieties at different moisture regimes under direct seeded condition" was conducted in a split plot design with three replications at Crop Research Centre-Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Bihar during kharif (2018) in order to study the growth and yield of direct seeded rice at different moisture regimes. The treatments in main plot consisted of four moisture regimes i.e., M1-AWD at 3 Days (Irrigation was applied at 3 days after disappearance of ponded water), M2-AWD at 5 Days (Irrigation was applied at 5 days after disappearance of ponded water), M3-Saturation level till physiological maturity (Irrigation was applied at zero soil moisture potential) and M4-10 % of moisture depletion (Irrigation was applied at 10 % moisture depletion of Field capacity) and in sub plot consisted of three varieties i.e., V1-Rajendra Neelam, V2-Abhishek and V3-Rajendra Saraswati. The result revealed that plant growth and yield attributes li

Conclusion

Based on the findings of this study, it can be stated that the growth characteristics, yield attributes, and yield of rice grown under direct seeding revealed that significantly higher values were obtained with the moisture regime of M1-AWD at 3 days but was found statistically at par with M3-Saturation level till physiological maturity. Among different varieties, variety Rajendra Neelam (V1) was recorded significantly superior value.
