Performance of promising aromatic rice entries and rapeseed-mustard varieties grown as 'paira' crop under red and laterite zone of West Bengal, India.

A field experiment on ‘Performance of promising aromatic rice entries and rapeseed-mustard varieties grown as ‘ paira ’ crop under red and laterite zone of West Bengal, India’ was conducted at Rice Research Station, Bankura during 2013-14 under red and laterite areas of West Bengal. The experimental result revealed that IET 21455 recorded the highest grain yield of 4.12 t ha -1 among promising aromatic rice entries. Highest seed yield of 765.7 kg ha -1 was recorded from NML 25 among rapeseed-mustard varieties, which were grown as ‘ paira ’ crop after rice in the same field.
