Abstract

A field experiment conducted to study the effect of salt solution spray on the ears of paddy revealed that there was appreciable reduction in moisture content of grain and the grain colour changed from green to yellow, which helped the advancement of harvest. The treatment did not affect the viability of the grain. Significant differences were observed in protein content of kernel and 1000-grain weight. However, there was no significant difference in the carbohydrate content of kernel and the milling qualities of grain.
