Agronomic Performance of Rice Genotypes under Direct Seeded Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

“…The lowest no. of tillers per hill was found in RNR 10754 (9). The results are in conformity with the findings of Anusha et al [11] that early vigour genotypes showed high crop growth rate during preanthesis period which is reflected as higher number of tillers in vigorous genotypes compared to less vigorous genotypes.…”

“…Teng et al[7] and Fauzi et al[8] also reported that heavier seeds produced higher seedling dry weight with higher leaf area resulting in faster canopy and higher photosynthetic activity and thereby have greater potential to compete with weeds under DDSR.The highest plant height was recorded in the variety WGL 915 (122.99 cm) and the variety RNR 15435 (121.72 cm) was found on par, while lowest plant height was found in WGL 962 (85.45 cm). Similar variation in plant height under direct sowing was observed by Goyal et al[9] and *,** represent significance at 0.05 and 0.01 levels probability respectively…”
