Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at S. G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, IGKV, Chhattisgarh during Kharif season 2022 to study the effect of different crop establishment methods and weed management practices to enhance the productivity if direct seeded rice. The result revealed that treatment S2 produced significantly taller plant, more number of tillers, higher dry matter, highest grain yield, straw yield and HI and it was on par with treatment S2; in contrast treatment S1 produced maximum number of plant population in case of different weed management practices. In case of weed management practice, plant height, number of tillers, plant dry matter, economic yield, straw yield and HI was recorded significantly higher in treatment W1 among all the treatments it was on par with treatment W3, but net return and benefit cost ratio was found significantly highest for treatment combination of S2 × W3.
