Abstract:
A field investigation was performed at crop research farm at the Maya College of Agriculture and Technology in Selaqui, Dehradun (Uttarakhand), during the 2016 kharif season. Combinations of six various organic manure treatments were used in the experiment. Green manuring with Sesbania aculeata + foliar spray of Panchgavya (3%), green manuring with Sesbania aculeata + foliar spray of fish amino acid (FAA 3%), green manuring with Crotalaria juncea + foliar spray of Panchgavya (3%), green manuring with Crotalaria juncea + foliar spray of fish amino acid (FAA 3%), basal application of FYM (12 t ha^-1) + foliar spray of Panchgavya (3%) and basal application of FYM (12 t ha^-1) + foliar spray of fish amino acid (FAA 3%)) in main plots and three systems of planting (System of Rice Intensification (SRI), Conventional Transplanted Rice (CTR) and Direct Seeded Rice (DSR)) in sub plots, taken in split plot design with three replications. The maximum growth (dry weight), yield attributes (panicle length and number of grains panicle^-1) and yield was recorded with the basal application of FYM (12 t ha^-1) + foliar spray of Panchgavya (3%). Rice planted under SRI system of planting found higher growth (dry weight, crop growth rate and relative growth rate) at all the growth stages, yield attributes (effective tillers, panicle length, number of grains panicle^-1 and test weight) and yield as compared to rest of the planting systems.
