Abstract

The On Farm Testing (OFT) has been taken up on rice MTU 1212 variety in three different locations during Kharif season for two consecutive years to find out the performance of rice variety on yield and economics of rice. The higher yield i.e., 7669, 7574 kg/ha was noticed with MTU 1212 rice variety as compared to MTU 7029 (6607 and 6625 kg/ha) during both the years of experimentation. Net returns and B:C ratio were higher with MTU 1212 rice variety (Rs. 84,343, 95,090 and 89,717/ha) when compared to farmers practice (Rs. 60,246, 71,603 and 65,925/ha) during 2022-23, 2023-24 and in pooled data, respectively.
