A field experiment conducted during Kharif season of 2017 under AICRIP, in Alfisols at Instructional cum Research of Shaheed Gundadhoor College and Agricultural Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, to study grain yield of rice as influenced by different establishment methods under puddle condition. Results indicated that highest grain yield (q ha-1 ) was registered under the treatment line transplanting method (T1) which was at par with treatment wet direct seeded rice using drum seeder (T3). The lowest grain yield (q ha-1 ) was recorded with treatment dry direct sowing method (T5). | Evaluation of different establishment methods for enhancing productivity and profitability of rice under puddle condition
