Effect of different sowing methods under DSR system in midland situation at bastar plateau zone of Chhattisgarh

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season 2023 under AICRIP, at Research cum Instructional Farm Shaheed Gundadhoor College of Agriculture and Research Station Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, to study the “Effect of different sowing methods under DSR system in midland situation at Bastar Plateau Zone of Chhattisgarh” in Randomized Block Design using seven treatments which were replicated in three times. The results obtained under Raised bed sowing (T3) revealed significantly higher growth parameters viz., number of tillers, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate and yield attributing characters viz., length of panicles, total number of grains panicle-1. Early flowering and maturity were recorded with treatment T3. The statistically highest grain and straw yield was recorded under treatment T5 (Line sowing methods of DSR may be followed weeding through Ambika paddy weeder). In the case of harvest index, treatment T5 was found higher. Maximum gross return, net return and B: C ratio was obtained treatment T5.
