Abstract :
This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of different plant spacing (15x15 cm, 15x20 cm, 20x20 cm) and seedlings per hill (1-5) on growth and yield of newly released rice variety Shalimar rice-1. Maximum plant height, tillers number, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation, yield and yield related traits were observed from closer spacing (15x15 cm). Yield increased in closer spacing was 8.97% higher in closer spacing (15x15 cm) than 20x20 cm spacing possibly owing to improved interception of photosynthetically active radiation. Amongst the number of seedlings per hill, maximum yield related traits and yield was recorded when 3 seedlings per hill were transplanted.
