Abstract

 A field experiment was conducted during Kharif, 2023 in split plot design with three
 replications. Results inferred that out of rice cultivars, V1-Naveen recorded highest plant height
 (113.3 cm), no. of tillers m-2 (292.1) and dry matter accumulation at harvest (1229.4 g m-2). No. of
 panicles m-2 (207.7), length of panicle (25.7 cm), total no. of spikelets panicle-1 (146.0), no. of
 filled grains panicle-1 (125.6) and 1000-grain weight (21.4 g) than other two cultivars. Naveen
 recorded significantly higher grain yield (5.2 t ha-1) than other cultivars due to the achievement of
 best results of all the yield attributing characters. The spacing of 15 cm × 15 cm recorded the
 highest plant height at harvest (106.9 cm). Similarly, the significantly higher no. of tillers m-2 at 60
 DAT (266.4) than other spacings due to lesser competition in utilization of available nutrients as
 compared to closer spacings and maximum dry matter accumulation at harvest (1094.2 g m-2)
 were obtained with 15 cm × 15 cm spacing. The maximum panicle length (23.1 cm), total no. of
 spikelets panicle-1 (135.8), no. of filled grains panicle-1 (120.7) and grain yield (4.7 t ha-1) were
 recorded with 15 cm × 15 cm spacing which were significantly higher than other spacing options.
 Highest panicle length (26.1 cm), number of filled grains panicle-1 (128.7) and grain yield (5.5 t ha
1) were recorded when Naveen cultivar was transplanted at 15 cm × 15 cm spacing which was
 significantly higher than all other combinations
