Description The present study entitled “Response of basmati rice
varieties to time of transplanting” was carried out at Research Farm of
CCS Haryana Agricultural University Rice Research Station, Kaul
(Kaithal) during kharif season of 2008-09 on clay loam alkaline soil, low
in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in phosphorus and
high in potassium. The treatments consisted of three dates of
transplanting (June 25, July 10 and July 25) and four varieties (Taraori
Basmati, CSR-30, Pusa Basmati-1 and Pusa Sugandha-4) laid out in
split-plot design with four replications, keeping transplanting dates in
main plots and varieties in sub plots. Thirty days old seedlings of the
crop were transplanted mainly on a well puddled soil at a hill spacing of
20 x 15 cm with two seedlings per hill.
The studies revealed that, the early transplanting (June 25
and July 10) significantly increased all the crop growth parameters viz.
plant height, tillers/m2, dry matter accumulation and leaf area index
over the late transplanting (July 25). The yield contributing characters
(panicles/m2, grains/panicle), yield (grain and straw), net profit and benefit cost ratio were higher with early transplanting dates as
compared to late planting. The late planting, however, improved the
quality traits viz. hulling, milling and head rice recovery than early
planting.
Among the varieties, tall varieties (Taraori Basmati and
CSR-30) took longer time to attain 50% flowering and maturity than
semi dwarf varieties. The semi dwarf varieties produced more tillers/m2
than taller ones but reverse was true for dry matter accumulation, leaf
area index, hulling, milling and head rice recovery. Pusa Sugandha-4
was found best as it gave the highest grain yield, net income, benefit
cost ratio, longest kernel and length breadth ratio than all other
varieties.
