Foliar Spray of Nitrogen Fertilizer on Raised Bed Increases Yield of Transplanted Aman Rice over Conventional Method

Table 1

Grain yield and yield components with respect to foliar spray in bed and conventional method.

Method of fertilizer application	Yield and yield components
	Grain yield (t ha^−1)	Panicles m^−2 (no)	Grains panicle^−1 (no)	1000-grain wt (gm)
Foliar spray of fertilizer in raised bed	4.68	298a	165a	23.10
Fertilizer broadcasting in conventional planting	4.37	276b	140b	22.88
LSD at 5%	0.26	3.34	4.98	1.32
Level of significance	n.s.	**	**	n.s.

Where ** represents probability of ≤0.01 and n.s. represents probability of >0.05. Values were means of three replicates. In a column figures with same letter do not differ significantly whereas figures with dissimilar letters differ significantly (𝑃≤0.01).
