EFFECT OF BED WIDTH AND HILL SPACING ON THE PERFORMANCE OF T. AMAN RICE CV. SUPERAMANDHAN (Pages : 1 - 6)

An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from June to December 2015 to study the effect of bed planting and their spacing on the yield performance of transplant T. Aman rice cv. Superamandhan. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The highest plant height (184.17 cm), total tillers hill-1 (36.44), effective tillers hill-1 (31.51), number of grains panicle-1 (244.96) and the highest grain yield (6.01 t hill-1) were obtained from different planting beds in different planting width. The highest number of total number of tillers hill-1, effective tillers hill-1 and highest number of grain panicle-1 were obtained from 60 cm bed size with 50 cm spacing. From the analysis of the yield data it was observed that due to shorter spacing of bed size (30 cm) and spacing (40 cm) more yield was produced because of its higher density of plants. The highest plant height, grain yield, straw yield and biological yield hill-1 were obtained from the combination of 30 cm bed size with 40 cm spacing. But in case of yield plant-1 in a specific area, data indicates wider size of bed (60 cm) and plant spacing (40 cm) was very much suitable for producing higher yield of T. Aman rice cv.
