| Popis: | The predominant kharif rice varieties like Ranjit, Bahadur, local biroin (sticky rice) of Cachar district of Assam possess long maturity duration, which is undesirable when farmers have their mind for next season crops like potato, french bean etc. in the same piece of land. To overcome this problem, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Cachar conducted an On Farm Trial (OFT) using medium duration rice variety TTB 404 for evaluation of its performance to fit in cropping sequence against local check Joria during 2014–15 and 2015–16. Three trials were conducted in three different locations of Cachar district during sali seasons. Critical inputs like seed of the said variety and recommended fertilizer were distributed to the farmers. Parameters like days to maturity, plant height, numbers of effective tillers per plant, yield (q/ha) and B: C ratio were recorded. The result revealed that the variety took about 140 d to mature, which is well fit for increasing cropping intensity in the district. Plant height was approximately 116 cm as compared to 121 cm of Joria, number of effective tillers per plant was higher (9 no), number of grains per panicle was also found higher than the local variety and thus higher yield was achieved (45.67 q/ha) as compared to control (35.58 q/ha). |
