Study envisaged that early planted (May,16) rice taken greater days to heading (110.4 days), maturity (136.0 days) and plant height (102.25 cm). However, number of panicles/hill (19.75), grains/panicle (109), grain weight/hill (79.13 g), 1000 grain weight (36.10 g) and grain yield (5750 kg haG 1) were significantly greater in 1 st June planted rice. Thus, it is recommended that transplanting during the first week of June is ideal for achieving maximum grain yield.
The effect of irrigation intervals on seed cotton yield at 14 days interval resulted significantly greater cotton yield as compared to 7 and 21 days intervals. The increase in yield was associated to significant increase in branches, total number of productive bolls and yield per plant. The chemical analysis of soil showed little increase in soil pH values, however, decreasing trend in ECe, ESP and SAR was noted in the samples collected after harvest as compared to those collected before sowing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
