Abstract


Two year yield study on ratoon management of rice revealed that in single crop wet land areas of Periyar-Vaigai river command, raising CV.Bhavani rice as the main crop and ratooning it after the harvest would be desirable. Application of 125 kg.ha" nitrogen and impounding 5 cm depth of water one day after the disappearance of ponded water are recommended for higher yield, water use efficiency and net return of the ratoon crop.
