 ABSTRACT

The field experiment was carried out at Krishi Nagar Farm, Department of Agronomy, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.) during kharif 2018 on effect of forchlorfenuron on yield and economics of transplanted rice. Eight forchlorfenuron treatments comprised different doses of forchlorfenuron were applied at panicle initiation (PI) stage through foliar spray @ 520, 1040, 1560, 2080, 2600, 3120, 3640 g ha-1 and untreated control plot (No foliar spray).The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with thrice replication. The experimental results revealed that maximum grain yield (4745 kg ha-1), straw yield (7290 kg ha-1), gross monetary returns (97621 Rs. ha-1) and net monetary returns (52300 Rs. ha-1) were recorded under application of forchlorfenuron @ 3640 g ha-1 as compared to rest of the treatments.

Keywords: Rice, Yield, Economics and Forchlorfenuron.
