Study of Suitable Paddy Hybrid With Respect to Transplanting Time in Relation to Weather parameters

Abstract

Transplanting of kharif paddy during 28th MW improved all the growth components viz., plant height, number of tillers plant-1 with yield component viz., length of panicle, number of spikes plant-1, number of grains panical-1, grain weight panical-1 and test weight but it was at par with transplanting at 26th MW and 30th MW and superior over transplanting at 32th MW.The higher grain (69.5 qha-1) and straw yield (76.7 q ha-1) were significantly more with the transplanting at 28thMW but it was at par with transplanting at 26th MW [grain (66.6 q ha-1) and straw yield (72.7 q ha-1)] as well as 30th MW [grain (63.6 q ha-1) and straw yield (70.9 q ha-1)]Among the four different hybrids of paddy, Sahyadri – 3 (Savitri) recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height, number of tillers plant-1 with yield attributing characters viz., length of panicle, number of spikes plant-1, number of grains panical-1, grain weight panical-1 and test weight which was at par with hybrid Sahyadri and significantly superior over rest of all hybrids.
