Annual Report of the Rice Research Station Nagina (United Provinces) for the Year 1934-35

1935

Introdvcticn.—As a result of the enormous demand from ryots for seed of improved varieties and of the necessity of exploiting the numerous problems of paddy culture the area under paddy on the Station was further increased by ten acres thus alloting for paddy about 50 out of the total area of 62.76 acres of this Station The additional area was converted into suitable paddy land by proper bunding [...] Hence the major portion of the work consisted of continuing observations on the selected hybrid cultures of which a majority belonging to the F5 generation and of arranging the accumulated data for interpretation. [...] In F5 the isolation of coarsgrained medium-grained and fine-grained families is definitely established the coarseness of T.131 and the fineness of Types 7 and 12 being exhibited by some of the families although the majority of them showed intermediate values. [...] The balance of evidence secured frdm the yield estimates of whole cultures should however point to the fact that the superiority of the hybrids is not wholly but only partially due to the influence of the environment. [...] Perhaps by the latter method the soil was either provided with isufficient green material or deprived of the beneficial effects of the root actvities of the sanai hence the absence of increase in soil fertility.
