The study was conducted at RARS, Siddhartha Nagar during 1994/95 and 1995/96 in a split
plot design with 3 replications. Main plot factor was bund height (15 em, 25 em & 35 em) and
sub-plot factor was planting methods (dry seed sowing, germinated seed sowing and
transplanting method).
Transplanting method was found to be the highest yielder, irrespective of bond heights, in
both the years. Variance of grain yields of both years analyzed separately showed that
method of planting differed significantly at 1% level.
Average of two years also showed that highest grain yield was obtained by transplanting
method at each bund height; with increases in grain yields by corresponding increases in bund
heights which do not apply in case of dry seeding and germinated seed sowing method. In
case of transplanting method, linear relationship between grain yield and bond height might
have established due to corresponding results of average standing rain water in the fields.
