To safeguard and sustain food security in India, it is quite important to increase the productivity of rice under limited water resources. To investigate the performance of rice cultivars under the best method of irrigation and system of cultivation in new condition an experiment was conducted to study the \"productivity and water use efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars under different irrigation regimes and systems of cultivation\" on clay loam soils of Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR), Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana during the kharif seasons of 2017 and 2018. The treatment comprised of two irrigation regimes viz., AWD and saturation as main plot treatments, three establishment methods viz., system of rice intensification, drum seeding and TP as subplot treatments and four cultivars namely DRR Dhan 42, DRR Dhan 43, MTU-1010 and NLR-34449 as sub-sub plot treatments summing up to 24 treatment combinations laid out in split-split plot design with three replications. Among the irrigation regimes, AWD irrigation practice recorded higher grain yield (5755, 5952 and 5854 kg ha-1 in 2017, 2018 and pooled means, respectively) than saturation. Among the different systems of cultivation, the SRI recorded significantly higher grain yield (5953, 6129 and 6041 kg ha-1 during 2017, 2018 and in pooled means, respectively) over the TP method. Among the different rice cultivars, DRR Dhan 43 registered remarkably higher grain yield than other cultivars during 2017 and 2018.","PeriodicalId":19618,"journal":{"name":"ORYZA- An International Journal on Rice","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85942375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observations on growth characters yield attributes, yield and soil and plant nutrient status were recorded. The results revealed that application of 100 kg MgSO4 / ha recorded the maximum number of panicles/m2 (419.13), number of grains/panicle (109.36), thousand grain weight (28.78 g), grain (9.27 t/ha) and straw yield (9.04 t/ha) of rice. The results of pooled data on plant and soil nutrient status revealed that application of magnesium had a positive effect on nutrient content and availability of nutrients in soil. A significant positive correlation was also noticed between Mg application, yield attributes, yield and nutrient contents.

However, the segregation of 'E' into respective causes is seldom done while 'G' is a constant. Soil is a component of 'E' with imminent variability in attributes among multiple locations. Data on yield response of varieties to a set of treatments in different soils from multi-locational yield maximisation trial under All India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project were regularly gathered. A dataset pertaining to a trial conducted in Karaikal district of Puducherry Union Territory was analysed to ascertain the site-specific crop responses with inherent variability in soils. \u0000Rice varieties, ADT 46, BPT 5204 and CR 1009 were tested for responses at 17 sites with farmer fertiliser practices (FFP), regional recommended fertiliser dose (RDF) and software, 'Nutrient Expert®' (2016) (NE) derived fertiliser quantities. Analysis of variance showed that test sites explained 59.3% variability in yield. A multivariate technique, Factor Analysis extracted two factors, which are linear combinations of soil attributes those explained 76% of variance in soils. Factor scores classified soils into four groups, owing to variability in soil properties. Soil texture influenced yield significantly (across varieties and treatments) (R2 = 11.1%). Sites varied in excess duration in nursery ranging from 2 - 26 days. However, this excess duration reduced number of panicles m-2 only in CR 1009 (r = -0.328**). \u0000General linear model with sites and treatments as fixed factors, their interactions and panicles m-2 as covariate predicted better (R2 = 90.3%) with their significant contribution to the model. The order of R2 (%) was Sites (59.3) > Varieties (27.4) > Treatments (13.6%) in explaining variability in yield highlighting site-specific responses. Mean differences between ADT 46 and BPT 5204; BPT 5204 and CR 1009 were significant. Yield significantly changed across sites and treatments when fertiliser management shifted from non-specific (FFP) to site-specific NE based calculations through RDF (region specific). Results of this trial placed emphasis on soil test-based crop management to realise the uniform best, which clearly is site specific crop management.","PeriodicalId":19618,"journal":{"name":"ORYZA- An International Journal on Rice","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81147831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of twenty-six traits, only five principal components (PCs) exhibited more than 1.00 Eigen value and showed 85.80% of total cumulative variability. The PC1 showed 58.55%, while PC 2, PC 3, PC 4 and PC 5, exhibited 10.29%, 7.03%, 5.23% and 4.69% variability, respectively. The PC 1 reported the highest variability, which was associated with physiological and yield related traits. The PC 2 was dominated by biochemical traits, while PC3 was mostly dominated for yield traits. The PC 4 was dominated by physiological traits, and PC5 for phenological and yield-related traits.
