Abstract:
For the growing population and increased urbanization there is a need of the best hybrids that obtain highest yields and also effectively utilize the available land, which will be possible through better breeding programmes, best agronomic practices and their peculiar agro-climatic conditions for which an experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) to study the “Evaluation of Rice Hybrids under Agro-climatic conditions of Prayagraj”. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisting of 15 Rice hybrids each replicated thrice. The different Rice hybrids were allocated randomly in each replication. The result revealed that hybrid (KR-15) was found to be best for obtaining Maximum plant height (113.04 cm), more number of tillers/hill (16.93), more number of tillers/m2 (439.00), maximum dry weight (47.07g), maximum panicle length (29.47 cm), more number of filled grains/panicle (135.62), maximum test weight (23.00 g), maximum grain yield/hill (22.93 g), maximum grain yield (9.47 t/ha), maximum stover yield (31.33 t/ha), maximum biological weight (23.04 t/ha), maxim harvest index (46.23%). Highest gross return (1,89,400.00 INR/ha), net return (1,28,843.00 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (2:13) was also recorded hybrid (KR-15) respectively.
