Comparison of productivity of rice in different water reaches of canals

Abstract

The present study was carried out in Mahanadi reservoir canal irrigation system of Chhattisgarh state during the years 2017-18 and 2018-19. Most of the head, mid and tail reach respondents were adopting Rice- Fallow- Fallow cropping pattern. Swarna was the highest cultivating variety in head, mid and tail reach. Average productivity of rice was 45.05 q/ha, 43.42 q/ha and 41.14 q/ha, for head, mid and tail reach respectively. A significant difference (Anova) was also found in productivity of rice between the head, mid and tail reach.
