Enhancing growth and productivity of rice (Oryza sativa L.) using biostimulant ‘Armurox’
Keywords:
Armurox, biostimulant, growth parameters, riceAbstract
A field experiment was undertaken during kharif 2023 to study the efficacy of biostimulant - Armurox in rice, comprising of eleven treatments i.e. single spray at tillering or two sprays at tillering and boot leaf stages at 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 ml ha-1 along with two sprays of 1500 and 2000 ml ha-1 and control treatment (water spray) following randomized complete block design, replicated thrice. Double spray of Armurox @ 1000, 1250, 1500 and 2000 ml ha-1 at tillering and boot leaf stage recorded more plant height and dry matter accumulation at 60 days after transplanting (DAT), 90 DAT and harvest stage, but significantly better than control. Similar trends - were recorded for CGR (30-60 and 60-90 DAT) and grain yield. Thus, double spray of Armurox at1000 ml ha-1 may help to improve rice growth and yield.
