Abstract
A field study was conducted in two Kharif seasons 1995 and 1996 on a sandy clay loam soil to see the effect of different NPK levels and N-application techniques on kernel dimensions of fine rice, Basmati-385. Maximum kernel length in primary and secondary branches of panicle was obtained with NPK level of 180-90-90 kg ha', whereas minimum was obtained with 60-0-0 kg ha. However, other kernel dimensions such as kernel width, kernel thickness and length/width ratio were not significantly influenced by different NPK levels. Nitrogen application technique N3( 1/3 N at transplanting + 1/3 at tillering + 1/3 at panicle initiation) resulted in maximum kernel length, kernel thickness and length/width ratio in primary branches and kernel length and kernel thickness in secondary branches of panicle during both the study years.
