Effect of nitrogen levels and weed management in hybrid rice
The effect of different levels of nitrogen (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) and certain weeding practices on hybrid rice (ADTRH-1) were studied during both dry and wet season of 2003. Response of nitrogen was noticed up to 150 kg ha-1 with the maximum grain yield of 5.80 t ha-1. In respect of weed management practices, highest rice grain yield was obtained with weed free (6.24 t ha-1) followed by butachlor 1.5 kg a.i. ha-1 at 3 days after
transplanting (DAT) + hand weeding at 40 DAT (5.78 t ha-1) and the effect was comparable with that of hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAT.
