Early planting upto3rd week of July, recorded highest yields of Kharif paddy. Among varieties, Swarna, Chaitanya recorded satisfactory yields even planted late in August. In permanent plot experiment on INM (Integrated Nutrient Management) system in cereal based cropping sequence showed that 50% and 25% recommended NPK substituting through Se bania green leaf manure (or) through compost produced similar grain yields as that of 100% NPK through chemical form. In direct sown wet seeded rice, weeds were controlled effectively by use of rice guard (ethoxysulfuron) @ 0.012 kg/ha + Anilophos @ 0.312 kg/ha) and Pyrazosulfuron (0.075 kg/ha) with increased grain yield.

In site specific nutrient management, highest rice yield (5.67 t/ha) was recorded with application of NPKB (100 60 90- 5 kg/ha) in Kharif (100 9090- 5 kg/ha) in rabi. In both the seasons skipping of P & k reduced the yields remarkably. Rice Rice Sunhemp cropping system has given maximum system productivity and profitability followed by rice rice pillipesara in different rice based cropping system for Godavari delta. Sesbania seed rate of 50 kg/ha and cutting Sesbania at 60 DAS is found to be optimum better green mass production and to obtain higher rice yields. In transplanted rice application of Bensulfuron @ 0.06 kg/ha at 3 DAT or Trisulfuron methyl @ 0.009 kg/ha @ 12DAT effectively controlled all types of weeds and proved to be on par with hand weeding twice. Intermediate deep water rice situation crop fertilized with recommended level of N, K & Zn all as basal at the time of transplanting gave significantly higher yield over split application of N, K & Zn Transplanting in lines and weedicide application gave higher yields followed by broadcasting rice seed @ 80 kg/ha with need based weed control In rice fallow summer pulse situation, blackgram performed superiorly over greengram. LBG 623 recorded higher seed yield followed by LBG 20 & T9 Application of starter dose of Nitrogen at Juvenile growth stage by spraying of 2% urea at preflowering and 5% DAP at pod filling stage proved beneficial in increasing rice fallow pulse yield

Zinc deficiency is very severe and wide spread during rabi season and significantly response to addition of zinc was observed in rabi season. If zinc deficiency is observed in standing crop, spraying of 0.2% zinc sulphate solution was found to be effective for correcting the deficiency. A dose of 40 kg P2O5 /ha was found necessary for kharif rice while 60 kg/ha for rabi rice in alluvial soils of Godavari delta analyzing for low to medium available phosphorus The phosphorus present in rock phosphate in neutral to alkaline soils and also native fixed `P in the soil was found to be effectively solubilised by application of phosphorus biofertilizer at 2.5 kg/ha. Studies on the effect of phosphorus bio-fertilizer on P availability to low land rice conducted at APRRI revealed that Phosphorus bio-fertilizer @ 2.5 kg/ha) was found to be effective in dissolving and making available the phosphorus present in rock phosphate @ 60 kg/ha to the rice crop, which is otherwise not readily available in neutral to alkaline soils, besides improving the soil available P fertility Three years (1994-97) studies on fertilizer management for low land rice in pest and diseases endemic areas revealed that substitution of 50% N through Neem cake and Potassium application in equal splits i.e., at basal and at PI

content in post harvest soils. Spilt application has no advantage over entire basal application and in fact basal application has advantage over split application in all most all the parameters studied. Phosphorus application has a positive effect on P content in thirdly, grain, straw and also in build up of available P2O5 content of soils. II. Six years of experimentation on response of low land rice to potash in alluvial soils of Godavari delta analyzing for medium to high available K2O revealed that potash application at 30 to 45 kg/ha gave significantly higher grain yield over control, soil test based K2O recommendation and farmers practice (15 kg K2O/ha). Higher yields were also obtained due to application of potassium in the on farm trails conducted in farmers fields at Ajjaram (medium available K2O) and Kavitam (high available K2O) in two consequent seasons indication the need for application of this nutrient irrespective of soil available K2O content. A dose of 30 to 45 kg K2O/ha was found to be optimum for getting higher yields. Further, it was found that split application of potassium has no added advantage over entire the basal application in these heavy soils.

::

Potassium application rice has not received adequate attention hitherto on the plea that the soils are rich potassium. But the results of this experiment has lead to the conclusion that potassium application at 30 to 45 kg/ha is very essential irrespective of soil available K2O content for realizing high yields. Presently, rice farmers largely follow this recommendation in both the seasons. I. Studies on the analysis of irrigation and drainage water conducted for two seasons revealed that irrigation water (canal water) during kharif season on an average carried 0.55 and 0.083 g of silt and clay per liter of water respectively, but the surface drainage water did not contain any silt and clay. Further irrigation water has relatively low salts (0.744 ds/m) and SAR (7.65) than the surface drainage water (0.998 ds/m, 10.29 respectively). II. Effect of organic matter or phosphorus availability to low land rice in Godavari alluvial soils was studied during 1996-2002 to evaluate the efficiency of green manure incorporation in solubilization of phosphorus from rock phosphate. The result that rock phosphate @ 40 kg P2O5/ha plus green manure incorporation @ 5t/ha increase the P uptake soil fertility and grain yield of rice significantly over the corresponding rock phosphate treatments without green manure in neutral to alkaline soils. Single Super Phosphate on the other hand was equally effective either with or without green manure. III. Studies on affect of fly ash along with graded doses of FYM and NPK on yield, nutrient content and uptake in addition to soil characteristics in paddy revealed the non-significantly role of fly ash and the importance of FYM for use with reduced doses of inorganic fertilizers. Application fly ash @ 10t/ha has no resulted any significant increase either grain yield and straw yield of rice over no fly ash application. IV. Investigation on the effect of direct incorporation, composting and burning of crop residues on yield, nutrient content and uptake in addition to post harvest soil characteristics in paddy revealed non-significance of the different treatments for the various parameters

significantly in rice compared to planting 30 and 45 days old seedlings. This was mainly due to reduction in source capacity (LAI and Biomass) and sink components (Panicle and spikelet number ). The seedlings raised from the seeds obtained from previous kharif or rabi, when planted during next rabi did not exhibit any significant differences in vigour, growth of seedling, physiological and productive efficiencies.
Optimum time of Planting :

Delayed plantings either in kharif (August to October) or in Rabi (January, February) caused marked reduction in grain yields because of reduction in vigour, growth, source capacity, sink components and harvest index. To obtain optimum growth and maximum productive efficiency, plantings have to be completed before July 15th (Kharif) and December 15th (Rabi).
Split tiller planting :

The Practice of planting split tillers at 30 days after normal planting leads to a grain yield reduction of 20% over normal planting, due to reduction in source capacity and sink components. However, this method of planting split-tillers can be utilized as a contingency plan under flood damage situation.
Photo period sensitivit :

The nature of photosensitivity in popular kharif rice cultures were assessed based on the flowering duration under staggered plantings. Most of the modern high yielding varieties were weakly photosensitive and their flowering duration was reduced with an advancement in the time of planting. The total duration also was reduced by 10 15 days when these weakly photosensitive kharif varieties were planted during Rabi season.
Rice productivit and its relationship with ph siological parameters :

Biomass production, leaf area index and filled grain number are the major determinants of grain yield in varieties of rice. The varieties with high physiological efficiency characters were recommended to breeders for using them as donors:

Moisture stress:

Evaluation of rice varieties under natural moisture stress condition has lead to the identification and release of MTU 9993 and Maruteru Sannalu (MTU 1006) for rain-fed rice ecosystem.
Water Submergence (E cess Moisture):

Complete submergence of Rice plants for 10 days had a more drastic effect than 7 days submergence. The variety MTU 4870 exhibited higher recovery at all stages. A reduction in tillering source capacity and sink were observed under submergence.

Actively involved in National Methane gas campaign and quantified the Methane gas emission in low land rice fields of Godavari delta, through ICAR AP Cess Fund project entitled Methane Emission in Rice based cropping system. It was found that Rice crop emitted low Methane 2.17 mg/m2/hr-1 . Varietal and growth stage variation were observed in methane gas emission from the rice fields. The Methane gas emission was low at vegetative phase, increased gradually up to flowering and declined later. Gypsum application has reduced Methane emission. Pillipesara crop has emitted lower Methane than Rice in the Rice Based Cropping System. Methane emission was low in upland rice, as compared to wet land and irrigated rice. The data-base on Methane emission has disproved the apprehensions that rice crop is the main culprit in environmental pollution, as the methane emission was much lower (only 20% of predicted values).

2. PEST MANAGEMENT STUDIES:

New insecticide molecules vi ., ethofenprox 10EC @ 1.5ml/L, imidacloprid @ 0.2ml/l (25 g a.i./ha), thiamethoxam 25WG @ 0.2g/l (25g a.i/ha) against planthoppers, Acephate 75SP @ 1.5g/l against planthoppers, leaf folder and stem borer. Cartap hydrochloride 4G @ 8 kg/ac, cartap hydrochloride 50WP @ 2g/L, flubendiamide 48 SC @ 1ml/L and flubendiamide 20 WDG @ 2.5 g/L against leaf folder and stem borer were found very effective. Among these cartap 4G, cartap 50 WP and ethofenprox were relatively safer to spiders and mirid bugs, while, Acephate and Imidacloprid moderately safe to these natural enemies. Use of pheromone traps @ 3traps/acre for monitoring and 8 traps/acre for mass trapping have been recommended for management for rice yellow stem borer after conducting field demonstrations for two years. The occurrence of panicle mite, S eneo a onem pinki in K.G. one was reported for the first time and it can be managed by spraying with profenophos @ 2 ml or dicofol @ 5 ml /L of water, once at panicle initiation stage and another at 15 days later. Ethofenprox + hexaconazole and Acephate 75 SP + hexaconazole effectively controlled planthoppers and sheath bligh t. While, Cartap hydrochloride 50WP+ hexaconazole and Acephate 75SP + hexaconazole effectively controlled sheath blight, leaf folder and stem borer. Action plan for the management of planthoppers : 1.Grow planthopper tolerant varieties: Vijetha, Cottondora sannalu, Indra 2. Form alleyways 3. Adopt wider spacing: 20 x 15 cm (Kharif), 15 X 15 cm (Rabi) 4. Apply recommended doses of fertilizers: 60:40:30 kg NPK/ha (Kharif) 120:60:40 Kg NPK/ha (Rabi) 5. Practice alternate wetting and drying 6.If planthopper population exceeds 20-25 nos/hill adopt plant protection with the following insecticides: 1st Spray 2nd Spray 3rd Spray 4th Spray : : : : Imidacloprid (50 ml/ac)/Thiamethoxam (40 g/ac) * Monocrotophos (440 ml/ac)/Acephate (300 g/ac) Ethofenprox (400 ml/ac) Fenobucarb (400 ml/ac)

If the populations are high at the first instance, avoid * neonicotinoid chemicals. NOTE: 1. Use 200 lt of spray fluid/ac and the spray should be directed towards the base of the plant 2. Do not use any insecticide mixtures 3. Alternate the insecticide for the next spray with another group of chemical as shown above 4. Drain the field immediately after the spray for one or two days. 5. Avoid the use of synthetic pyrethroids and unrecommended Chemicals.

3. ASSESSMENT OF

IELD LOSSES:

Damages due to planthoppers and stem borer (White ears) accounted for significant variation in yield during Kharif (Y = 3.3 +1.1** (total tillers)-0.27** (BPH no.s) and Y = 13.7 +0.8** (PBT) 0.3** (WE) 0.03 (sheath blight)). During Rabi white ears due to stem borer had significant impact on yield (Y = 17.373 - 0.2** (WE)).

4. POPULATION D NAMICS OF RICE INSECT PESTS:

Yellow stem borer occurs in 3 broods during kharif and 2 broods in Rabi. Second brood (October) in kharif and Second brood (February) in Rabi inflicted severe damage. Leaf folder recorded 3 broods in Kharif and 2 broods in Rabi. Second brood in Kharif and first brood in Rabi inflicted severe damage. Planthoppers build up in 3 generations in both kharif and rabi seasons. The second generation in both the seasons inflicts maximum damage.

The performance of Rasp bar thresher is increasing with the drying of paddy bundles. The threshing efficiency is found to be maximum on 7th day after harvest and it is found to be maximum on 7th day after harvest to 7th after harvest hand beating, tractor threading does not have any adverse effect on grain germination when moisture content of paddy is low (fully dried crop) at the time of threshing. The germination percentage is found to be low in Rasp bar threshed samples but it is in acceptable level. The following modifications were carried out in the winnower developed at ARS, Maruteru to improve the cleaning efficiency, movability of the machine and to reduce the labour requirement as compared to traditional winnowing. Hopper was provided in the winnower to regulate the flow rate as well as to improve the cleaning efficiency. Pulleys were incorporated in the machine so that it can be operated with power tiller Alteration of sieves and sieving arrangement was carried out in the winnower to improve the winnowing efficiency. Wheels were provided to the machine to improve the movability of the machine Basic modifications were carried out in the machine is such a way the cleaned grain can be bagged directly. The batch type thermax dryer was tested and evaluated. It took 3-3.5 hours to dry a batch of paddy of 2.5 tons with a moisture content of 17.5% (wb) to 12% (wb) fuel consumption is 15 lit/hr. The combine harvesters and the bailing machine s performance was also tested. The combine harvester performs the operation of harvesting, threshing and winnowing simultaneously. It took one hour to complete one acre of field. The oil consumption is 5 litres/hr.
