Effect of Water Management Practice and Spacing on the Yield Performance of SRI Method of Rice Cultivation
Journal Title: International Journal of Plant & Soil Science - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to study the effect of water management practice and spacing on yield performance of BRRI dhan29. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The treatments consisted of three factor, Factor A (Depth of Furrow) consists of tow treatments D1-Shallow furrow (up to 3 cm deep), D2- Medium furrow (up to 5 cm deep), Factor B (Intensity of Furrow) consists of five treatments F1-Furrow made after 8 rows, F2- Furrow made after 6 rows, F3- Furrow made after 4 rows, F4- Furrow made after 2 rows, F5- No furrows (standard SRI irrigation), Factor C (Spacing) consists of two treatments S2- 25cm x 25cm, S2- 30cm x 20cm. In case of depth of furrow, the highest grain yield (5.766 t ha-1) was obtained from D2 treatment and the lowest from D1 treatment. On the other hand, the highest grain yield (6.287 t ha-1) was obtained from F4 treatment in case of intensity of furrow and the lowest from F1 treatment. But in the spacing treatment the highest yield (5.552 t ha-1) was obtained from S1 spacing and the lowest from S2 treatment. In the combined effect of depth of furrow and intensity of furrow; depth of furrow and spacing; intensity of furrow and spacing the highest grain yield (6.393 t ha-1) was obtained from combined effect of intensity of furrow and spacing and the combination of treatment was F4xS1. In case of combined effect of depth of furrow, intensity of furrow and spacing the highest grain yield (6.42 t ha-1) was obtained from D2xF4xS1 treatment combination and the lowest grain yield (4.10 t ha-1) was obtained from D1xF5xS2 treatment combination.
