Abstract:
The Agronomic investigation entitled ― Performance of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) hybrids on growth, yield and economics under Agro-climatic conditions of Prayagraj, U.P. was carried out during Kharif 2021. The experimental site was located at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) with an aim to study about the growth and yield attributes of rice hybrids and to study the economics of different rice hybrids. The field experiment was carried out in randomized block design (RBD) 10 different varieties as treatments, each of which was replicated thrice totalling to 30 plots. The rice hybrid seeds were provided by Uttar Pradesh Council of Agricultural Research (UPCAR). The findings of the experiment indicated that the growth parameters of rice viz. plant height (119.60 cm), tillers/hill (15.93) were higher in UR-7 as well as yield attributes like effective tiller/m2 (310.67), Panicle length (31.52 cm), filled grains/panicle (250.67), grain yield(g)/hill (34.33 g), test weight (25.33 g), grain yield (t/ha) (8.67 t) and biological yield (t/ha) (27.66 t) were recorded higher in UR-7. Hence, it can be concluded that the hybrid rice variety UR-7 was found to be most productive and economical.
