Evaluation of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) under Agro-climatic Zone of Prayagraj, India

A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Naini Agriculture Institute, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Kharif, 2022 on sandy loamy soil. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design, replicated thrice, consisting of ten hybrids i.e., R-205, R-210, R-212, R-218, R-242, R-248, R-256, R-300, R-305, R-311. The field experiment result revealed that R-305 has significantly increased the growth parameters viz., Plant height (125.87 cm), Number of tillers (16.30), Plant dry weight (47.60 g/plant), Tillers/m2 (388.10), Panicle length (29.34 cm), Grain yield (6.95 t/ha) and Straw yield (12.80 t/ha). Maximum gross return (INR 200625/ha), net return (INR151579/ha), and highest B:C ratio (3.09) was also in recorded R-305.
