Based on a part of M.Sc thesis of first author submitted to Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 2011(unpublished)
Agronomic potential, feasibility and profitability of three methods of stand establishment viz., conventional transplanting (CT), system of rice intensification (SRI) and double transplanting (DT) with three rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars viz., ‘Pusa Basmati 1401’, ‘Pusa 44’ and ‘PRH 10’ were evaluated in a field experiment conducted during wet season of 2010 at the research farm of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Grain and straw yield and net return were significantly higher in SRI over CT and DT. Among the rice cultivars, rice hybrid ‘PRH 10’ gave the highest grain and straw yield but ‘Pusa Basmati 1401’ gave the highest net return.
