Studies on the interactive effects of water regimes, weed control treatments and nitrogen levels in direct-seeded rice
(Faculty of the Post-Graduate School, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, 1984) Mohan Kumar, B; KAU; Singh, K N
Field and green house experiments were conducted in the Division of Agronomy, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, during 1982 and 1983 to study the interaction of nitrogen x weed control x water regimes, on the growth, productivity and nutrient use pattern of direct seeded rice. The treatments in the field trails consisted of 4 levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N ha-1). 3 weed control treatments (weedy check, butachlor, bentazone in 1982 and bentazone plus propanil in 1983) and 2 water regimes (continuously and intermittently flooded). The experiment was laid out in a split plot design, replicated thrice. The variables in the green house experiment were 2 rice cultivars (Pusa 33, drought susceptible and Pusa 312, drought tolerant), 3 nitrogen levels (0,100 and 200 mg N kg soil-1) and 5 soil moisture regimes (submergence to saturation, 0-0.025 MPa, 0-0.05 MPa, 0-0.075 MPa 0-0.10 MPa soil moisture tension).
