Abstract:
An experiment was carried out during the kharif seasons of 2018 and 2019 to find out Influence of planting methods and weed control techniques on growth, yield and quality of paddy. Four crop planting methods viz. transplanted rice, direct seeded rice, drum seeded rice and system of rice intensification (SRI), and four weed control techniques viz. (Bispyribac sodium 25 g ai ha^-1 at 25 DAS/T, Bispyribac sodium 25 g ai ha^-1 at 25 DAS/T + hand weeding at 40 DAS/T, Two hand weeding 20 & 40 DAS/T and Weedy check were tested in Splt Plot Design with three replications. Maximum plant height, number of shoots/m², dry matter accumulation, grain yield, nitrogen uptake by crop was recorded in hand weeding (20 and 40 DAS/T than that of other weed management practices. Among the planting methods, SRI method exhibited maximum plant height, number of shoots/m², dry matter accumulation, grain yield, nitrogen content in grain and straw.
