Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) during Kharif, 2022. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), organic carbon (0.75%), available N (269.96 kg/ha), available P (33.10 kg/ha), and available K (336 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 10 hybrids each replicated thrice. Based on the objectives taken maximum plant height (147.09 cm), number of tillers (15.79), plant dry weight (49.76 g/plant), tillers/m² (404.33), filled grains (268.00), grain yield/hill (30.67 g), seed yield (7.24 t/ha), stover yield (13.04 t/ha) and harvest index (35.70%) were recorded significantly higher in hybrid R-610.
