Field experiments were conducted at farmer’s field by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Mayurbhanj, Shyamakhunta of Odisha to evaluate the irrigation water management practices on yield of rice on growth, yield and economics of transplanted rice during Rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15. The different treatments were taken as T1 - Control treatment, where puddling is done by desi plough and continuous submergence of water in paddy field throughout the crop period, T2 - Puddling by bullock drawn puddler, levelling and continuous submergence of water in paddy field throughout the crop period and T3 - Puddling by bullock drawn puddler, levelling and cyclic submergence of water in paddy field throughout the crop period. The experiment revealed that the B: C ratio, gross return (Rs/ha) and net return (Rs/ha) were recorded the highest with the treatment T3 i.e. the plot where puddling is done by bullock drawn puddler, levelling and cyclic submergence of water in paddy field throughout the crop period during both the years. As per pooled data the net return (Rs. 26,150/- per ha) and B:C ratio (2.93) also recorded highest with the treatment T3. The percentage increase in yield over control was found to be the highest in the treatment T3 followed by T2. Thus, among three methods tried T3 i.e. mechanical puddling and levelling and cyclic submergence of water in paddy field throughout the crop period is more productive, economical and sustainable.
