Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted during Kharif 2019 at I-Block, ZARS, V C Farm, Mandya, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru to investigate the effect of DSR method on seed quality and yield of different genotypes. The field experiment comprised of eight genotypes with three replications in randomized complete block design. The results revealed that under DSR method KRH-4 registered significantly earlier days to 50% flowering (89.00) and maturity (118.00), more productive tillers plant^-1 (14.13), panicles plant^-1 (16.47), longer panicles (21.77 cm), filled grains panicle^-1 (153), grain yield plant^-1 (37.40 g), grain yield plot^-1 (11.90 kg), grain yield hectare^-1 (59.50 q), test weight (19.11 g), followed by BR-2655 (96.67%, 130.00, 13.33, 16.20, 25.81 cm, 115.00, 32.61 g, 9.73 kg, 48.66 q, 21.73 g, respectively) and MTU-1001 expressed significantly lower performance includes 94.67%, 127.67, 11.80, 11.87, 19.70 cm, 65.00, 25.34 g, 7.50 kg, 37.5 q, 20.30 g, respectively).
