Sd. Dhiman et al., PERFORMANCE OF SCENTED, DWARF RICE (ORYZA-SATIVA) VARIETIES UNDER DIFFERENT TIME OF TRANSPLANTING, Indian Journal of Agronomy, 42(2), 1997, pp. 253-255
A field trial was conducted during rainy (kharif) season 1991 and 1992
to study the performance of scented, dwarf rice (Oryza sativa L.) var
ieties under different time of transplanting. Pooled analysis of grain
yield revealed that rice grain yield decreased significantly with eac
h delay in transplanting from 25 June to 5 August. However, the yield
reduction was drastic after 15 July. The magnitude of decline in grain
yield was 12.5% from 25 June to 15 July, whereas the reduction was 38
.3% from 15 July to 5 August. The yield attributes, viz. panicles/m(2)
, grains/panicle and panicle weight, also reduced with the late transp
lanting.
