Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2018 at the Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). The experiment was carried out with factorial RBD design with three replication, three crop geometry levels (15 × 15, 20 × 11.25, 25 ×9 cm) and four nitrogen rates (0, 75, 150, 225 kg ha^-1). In the experiment rice variety SWARNA SUB-1 was used. The crop geometry (20 × 11.25 cm^-2) and nitrogen rates 150 kg N ha represents significantly higher crop growth (plant height, number of tillers, dry matter accumulation), yield and yield attributes (panicle weight (g), panicle length (cm), grain panicle^-1 and test weight (g) grain yield.
