abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2023 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) to investigate the “Evaluation of Private Sector Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes under Agro-climatic zone of Prayagraj U.P”. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), organic carbon (0.75%), available N (269.96 kg/ha), available P (33.10 kg/ha), and available K (336 kg/ha). The treatments consist of 10 hybrids. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice. The significantly highest Plant height (65.11 cm), No. of tiller/hill (9.96), Dry weight (28.71 g/plant), Test weight (23.86g), Grain yield/hill (30.67g), Seed yield (7 t/ha) and Harvest Index (43.10%) were significantly higher in Hybrid UR-160. Hybrid UR- 160 also fetched maximum gross return (INR 181477.10 /ha), net return (INR 127431.10 /ha) and B: C ratio (2.36).
