Productivity of rice as influenced by innovative management practices of modified SRI approach

Abstract

In order to sustain present food sufficiency and to meet future food requirements, we have to realize a minimum annual growth rate of 3% in rice productivity. There is a wide spread feeling among the farmers that more mature plants would survive better when planted in clumps and ensure good crop yields even few seedlings might fail and others survive and result in more yield. Hence present study on the effect of age of seedlings, number of seedlings/hill and row spacing on productivity of rice was taken up.

Keywords: Rice, modified SRI approach
