Description |
An investigation entitled “Effect of nitrogen and potassium on growth and yield of hybrid rice” was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during kharif, 2000. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three rice cultivars (two hybrids and one variety) in main plot and ten treatment combinations of nitrogen and potassium management in sub plots replicated thrice. Plant height, leaf area, number of tillers m-2, Dry Matter Production (DMP), productive tillers m-2, panciles hill-1, total and filled spikelets panicle-1, spikelet sterility, grain and straw yield and NPK uptake by crop were significantly higher in hybrid rices than variety IR64. The two rice hybrids APHR-2 and DRRH-1 were similar in height, leaf area and filled spikelets panicle-1 while tillers m-2, DMP, productive tillers m-2, panicles hill-1, grain and straw yield and NPK uptake were significantly higher in hybrid APHR-2 than that of DRRH-1. Hybrid DRRH-1 recorded significantly higher total spiklets panicle-1 and spikelet sterility (%) however, 1000 grain weight and available NPK were significantly more with variety IR64. Significantly higher net returns were observed with rice hybrid APHR-2 while benefit cost ratio was significantly higher with variety IR64. The growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yield, net returns and nutrient uptake were comparable in the crop that received 150 kg N and 40 kg K2O ha-1 at TP + 2% KCl FA once, 150 kg N and 20 kg K2O ha-1 each at TP and PI and 120 kg N and 40 kg K2O ha-1 at TP + 2% KCl FA once and significantly superior to 150 kg N and 0 kg K2O ha-1 and 120 kg N and 0 K2O ha-1, which were significantly lower to all the treatments There was no significant increase in yield beyond 120 kg ha-1. Irrespective of N levels, significantly higher grain yield was obtained where, K management either with 40 kg K2O ha-1 as basal in addition with foliar application of 2% KCl one week after heading or 40 kg K2O ha-1 in two splits at TP and PI stages, as compared to 40 kg K2O ha-1 as basal. There was significant increase in yield with application of 40 kg K2O ha-1 and less than that led to significant yield reduction either in 20 kg K2O ha-1 coupled with foliar application twice at 20 days prior and one week after heading or no potassium application. |
