PERFORMANCE OF AROMATIC RICE VARIETIES AS INFLUENCED BY SPACING (Pages : 43 - 46)

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during July to December 2001 to investigate the influence of spacing on the qualitative characters of aromatic rice. The experiment comprised of three varieties namely V1: Kalizira, V2: Badshabhog and V3: Tulshimala and four different spacing viz., S1: 8 cm × 25 cm, S2:12 cm × 25 cm, S3:16 cm × 25 cm and S4:20 cm × 25 cm. Among three varieties Kalizira was found significantly superior to Tulshimala and Badshabhog with respect to nitrogen content, protein and aroma of grain. Quality of aromatic rice increase with increasing spacing up to 20 cm × 25 cm. Experimental result revealed that the variety Kalizira may be grown following 20 cm × 25 cm spacing for getting better quality of aromatic rice.Download
