Effect of Transplanting Dates on Yield and its Related Traits in Rice (Oriza sativa L.)

Abstract

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.

Influence of Date of Transplanting and Level of Nitrogen on the Yield of Nizershail Rice Grown in Boro Season

“…This might be due to sufficient time to stay in the field of rice plants which facilitated the plants to improve their photosynthesis activities which in turn caused the tallest plants. Alike results were also depicted by Soomro et al (2001) and Nila et al (2018) who found taller plants in early transplanting than in late transplanting. Plant height tends to decrease due to delay in transplanting (Table 1).…”

Grain Yield and Agro-Climatic Indices of Rice Cultivars Transplanted in Different Dates in Mid-Western Tarai, Nepal

“…Khalifa (2009) also reported the similar results showing early date of transplanting is the best time of transplanting to gain important yield attributing characters. A large number of productive tillers in early transplanting may be attributed to favorable environmental factors that may have provided optimum weather for enhanced plant growth and production relative to other transplanting dates, the contrasting results were also reported by Soomro et al (2001). The interaction of cultivars and dates of transplanting showed significant results for effective tillers m -2 , grain yield, grains panicle -1 , and test weight whereas non-significant results were observed for weight of panicle and sterility percentage (Table 6).…”
