Evaluation of rice establishment technique was studied with promising genotypes of rice at Darisai, Jharkhand, during wet season 2007 and 2008. The significantly maximum grain yield (5.17 t ha^-1) was recorded under SRI method, transplanting 10 days old seedling. Variety Naveen and variety Lalat produced statistically equal yield, i.e., 4.77 t ha^-1 and 4.34 t ha^-1 respectively. Significantly maximum benefit: cost ratio was obtained under SRI method (2.61), where as among varieties it was maximum grain yield obtained from Naveen (2.44) followed by Lalat (2.22).
