Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2022 at the Experimental Farm of CSKHPKV, Palampur (H.P.) to study the effects of foliar spray of biostimulants on the growth of transplanted rice. The experiment which was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with thirteen treatments, replicated three times, revealed significant growth improvements with biostimulants viz., Terra-Sorb complex, jeevamrit, and panchagavya. Specifically, a double spray of Terra-Sorb complex 1250 ml ha-1 (T8 ) increased plant height by 8 20.7% at 90 days after transplanting (DAT) and 20.2% at harvest compared to the control. Statistically similar results were observed with treatments of 1000 ml ha-1(T7 ), 1500 ml ha-1(T9 ), and 2000 ml ha-1(T10 ) doses. Additionally, T enhanced crop growth rates (CGR) by 10.8% (CGR1) and CGR2 by 24.5% over the control. A 8 1 2 double spray of Terra-Sorb complex 1000 ml ha-1(T7 ) is recommended as an optimal dose for improving rice 7 growth.
