Abstract

A study was conducted in 2022-2023 at the on growth, yield and quality of naturally growing floating rice in Suraha Tals and Dah Tals of Ballia district during kharif season. About three block area cover around the low-laying area of Suraha Tal i.e. Hanumanganj, Beruarbari and Bansdih and three blocks area cover around the Dah Tal i.e. Maniyar, Bansdih and Reoti block. The different village of targeted blocks were selected as site for purpose of study. At each site two spots, out of which one indicating floating rice spot-1 and another floating rice spot-2, were fixed as the site of plant samples collection. Thus, the sample collection will confine to these twenty-four spots only. The naturally growing floating rice plant height, number of tillers, chlorophyll content, number of panicles, number of grain panicle^-1 unfilled and filled, panicle length, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, grain length and grain breadth recorded from 20 to 160 days of crop duration. Plant height was ranged 25.5 to 340.7 cm, number of tillers 23 to 35 hill^-1, chlorophyll content 2.76 to 4.03, number of panicles 210 to 239 m^-2, number of grain panicle^-1 unfilled and filled 151 and 129, panicle length 23.3 to 25.2 cm, test weight 21.0 to 23.6 g, grain yield 36.30 to 47.96 q ha^-1, straw yield 42.22 to 57.07 q ha^-1, grain length 6.02 to 6.13 mm and grain breadth was ranged from 2.16 to 2.26 mm in the Suraha Tal and Dah Tal. Therefore, naturally grown floating rice in Suraha Tal and Dah Tal has distinct future of growth and yield attributes but Suraha Tal land soils grown floating rice growth and yield attributes were greater than Dah Tal land soils.
