Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2021 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, and Prayagraj (U.P.) India. The soil of experimental field was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%), available N (243 kg/ha), available P₂O₅ (20.10 kg/ha) and available K₂O (105.0 kg/ha). The experiment was carried out to find the performance of 10 hybrids, which laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. To find the performance of 10 Rice hybrids. The result of experimentation revealed that the Rice hybrid UR-24 recorded significantly higher growth attributes viz. plant height (114.37 cm), number of tillers/hill (14.20 no.), plant dry weight/plant (53.33 g), CGR (23.50 g/m²/day), yield attributes viz., effective tillers/m² (370 no.), panicle length (28.33 cm), test weight (26.48 g), and yields viz., grain yield per hill (28.37 g), grain yield (6.34 t/ha), straw yield (12.26 t/ha). The highest gross return (₹ 176172.00/ha), net return (₹ 122126.00/ha) and benefit-cost ratio (2.25) were observed in hybrid UR-24 compared with other hybrid.
