Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Betagi, Barguna, in Boro season, 2013, to find out the suitable rice varieties at sourthern region of Bangladesh. The test varieties were BRRI dhan28, BRRI dhan47 and BINA dhan8. The tallest plant was observed in BINA dhan8 over BRRI dhan47, while the shortest plant was found in BRRI dhan28. The more number of panicle per unit area, higher grains panicle^-1 and low spikelet sterility was found in BRRI dhan28 that reflected on the increase grain yield of rice. The lower number of grains/ panicle and higher spikelet sterility reduced the grain yield of modern rice BRRI dhan47. The highest grain yield was observed at BRRI dhan28 (6.43 t/ha) followed by BINA dhan8 (5.72 t/ha) than BRRI dhan47 (5.45 t/ha).

Keywords: Boro season, Performance of modern rice varieties, Standard agronomic management, Farmer's condition

Location: Farmer's field at Betagi, Barguna

Start Date: 01-12-2012

End Date: 30-06-2013

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

Objective of this study was to evaluate of the performance of modern rice varieties under standard agronomic management at farmer's condition in Boro 2013 season at sourthern region of Bangladesh

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Betagi, Barguna, in Boro season, 2013, to find out the suitable rice varieties at sourthern region of Bangladesh. The test varieties were BRRI dhan28, BRRI dhan47 and BINA dhan8. The treatments were distributed following RCB design with three replications. Forty-days-old seedlings were transplanted at 20 cm × 20 cm spacing. The unit plot size was 5 m × 6 m. Fertilizers: TSP was applied @ 97 kg ha^-1, MOP @ 120 kg ha^-1, Gypsum @ 112 kg ha^-1 and ZnSO₄@ 8 kg ha^-1 during final land preparation. The Urea was top dressed @ 298 kg ha^-1 at 15 days after transplanting (DAT), 30 DAT and 50 DAT. Irrigation application, insect and weed control were done as and when necessary. Data on plant height, panicle number, grains panicle^-1, grain yield and sterility (%) were recorded during harvesting.
