Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm of Lovely Professional University during the kharif season of 2018-19 on evaluation of rice intensification system in central plain zone of Punjab. Pusa Basmati 1121 was replicated thrice in randomized block design design having 9 treatments by using fertilizers and vermin-compost. Seeds primed with different priming materials and non primed seeds were used under system of rice intensification method (SRI) of rice cultivation. The results of the experiment showed higher paddy yield under SRI method with primed seeds. Highest paddy yield (93.9 q/ha) and 1000 grain weight (6.72 g) was observed under the treatment applied with 100% NPK(Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potash) along with cow urine treated seeds.
