Summary
Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Chiplima, Sambalpur, Odisha. Cold injury is common during winter season in the Hirakud Command area of Western Odisha in the popular rice variety ‘MTU 1001’. Unless improved rice varieties tolerant to low temperature are adopted and appropriate cultural management practices are followed, there is no other option to protect the summer rice crop in this region. Studies were conducted to generate nursery protection technique by using mulching materials to improve growth and performances of rice seedlings for rabi rice during extremelycold period in Hirakud command areas of Odisha. A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at the Regional Research and TechnologyTransfer Station, Chiplima of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology under West Central Table Land Zone Odisha. Nitrogen was applied in 3 splits of 25, 50 and 25% at basal, tillering and panicle initiation stages, respectively. Tiller numbers at harvest, flowering date, grains panicle-1 and grain yield (adjusted to 14% moisture) were determined
